Consumer Description

While traveling at approximately 30-35 mph, my vehicle suddenly and abruptly stopped, flashing the word "brake" on my dashboard. I was traveling in the right lane on a four lane road, with no vehicles in front of me or to the left of me. There were no pedestrians near, the road was free from any hazards and the road ahead was clear of any potential hazards that may require an abrupt halt. I was properly restrained, but my safety and the children I travel with could have quickly become compromised if hit from behind. Additionally, everyday items such as my school bag, water bottle and my children's books that I keep in my vehicle came flying forward, obstructing my ability to properly operate my vehicle. Additionally, being that this was unexpected, I was pretty shaken up which compromised my ability to safely operate my vehicle while attempting to find a place to park my car. My vehicle was not inspected and I used my owners manual to turn my collision mitigation braking system off in order to safely arrive at my destination. Additionally, there were no warning signals or messages that indicated this issue before it happened.
