Description of the problem | The brakes activated on their own while in motion, and the car came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. No cars were in front of me or anything else that should have activated the automatic collision prevention system. The car behind also had to stop to avoid crashing into my rear. The automatic collision prevention system is supposed to be a safety feature but nearly caused a collision. |
