Consumer Description

I've had 3 phantom breaking experiences. Most recently while driving on a straight wet road (one of the other experiences the road was also wet). I was travelling at approximately 30-33 mph and the system did an automatic hard break with a perfectly clear road ahead, no cars, people or animals in front of me or on either side. Thankfully, no one was behind me either. The other wet road auto break instance was when I was traveling between 22-26 mph on a road with a slight curve and vehicles were parked on the right side of the road. I was turning appropriately to take the slight turn and suddenly the breaks slammed on. There was no danger of me hitting anything. The third instance was when a vehicle was crossing a two lane road from left to right ahead of me. Two vehicles were ahead of me in the right lane traveling the same direction I was. My vehicle slammed on the brakes assessing that we would hit the vehicle crossing the lanes. There was absolutely no danger of that happening, I was multiple car lengths back. Should this happen when vehicles are traveling behind me, it could cause a very bad accident and it would appear that I would be liable for slamming on my breaks. I will begin trying to disable this safety feature whenever the roads are wet and make an appointment to have the dealer inspect the car. This has not been inspected or confirmed by anyone at this point. When this occurs, there is no warning - just slams the breaks and a "BREAK" warning with alert tones appears in the dash. No other warning lights or malfunction lights are on in my dash display. The vehicle is available for inspection with advanced notice so that I can make arrangements.
