Consumer Description

I have now experienced multiple instances where the vehicle suddenly brakes on its own while driving at normal speeds, without any obstruction or hazard ahead. This is not only unacceptable — it's extremely dangerous, putting both myself and other drivers at risk of serious injury. Despite bringing the vehicle in twice to the dealership, the issue persists. I continue to receive dashboard malfunction alerts, and the automatic braking problem has not been resolved. Each time, I am left without a vehicle, impacting my ability to work. I did not purchase a $100k+ vehicle to live in fear of sudden, unpredictable, and life-threatening malfunctions. Today, while driving, the vehicle completely shut off in motion, creating a highly dangerous situation. This follows multiple previous incidents where the car automatically braked without cause and displayed repeated malfunction notifications on the dashboard. I have brought the car to the dealership twice, and yet the problem persists. This is not only unacceptable — it's an imminent risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road. The fact that a brand-new luxury vehicle with this price tag continues to experience such serious failures is beyond frustrating — it is life-threatening.
