In owners' own words
Driving in various times either oncoming snow fall facing car, or blowing wind facing car. Automatic emergency braking system error shows with 2 car collision light shows. With error coming on car doesn't accelerate or limps very very slow (pull over eventually to the right to stop). Also follows with an engine code. P0101 mass air flow sensor out of range. Forward collision avoidance
While I was driving, I pressed the brake pedal. As soon as I applied the brakes, the vehicle abruptly screeched to a halt in a manner that felt abnormal and uncontrollable. Immediately after this sudden stop, the vehicle lost stability. It slid sideways, causing it to rotate and end up facing in a different direction than the one I had been traveling. Forward collision avoidance
The front collision sensor activated three times when I drove in highway. The car ran very show and its a danger situation that will cause an accident.. I vist two times the dealer Ramar at Humacao, Puerto Rico and they dont do anything because the sensor reset when the vehicule shutdown. Forward collision avoidance
