Description of the problem | Automatic collision braking system engages in sudden and unexpected braking when there is no obstacle (or cars) near vehicle. Automatic brakes have stopped car to a halt without warning when driving on or turning on slight slope city street that levels out to the road. The sudden braking has almost caused collisions as vehicle stops for no reason without warning in middle of street/traffic. Very concerned as no way to turn off system and afraid to drive vehicle for fear it will stop automatically for no reason in heavier traffic or on bridge where angle of road/bridge may slope. The sudden braking has occurred twice this week at location i have to drive to every day and cannot bypass. |
