In owners' own words
If someone is making a right turn in front of me and I am on the brakes already slowing down The emergency braking will engage and lock the brakes to stop it It does not seem to detect the fact the car is making a turn that will be complete before you are up to them. This has happened 4 times now and I have almost been rear ended. I can duplicate it pretty much whenever I want and capture it on my dash cam Forward collision avoidance
I have had two incidents where the emergency braking system applied itself when there was no reason for it to do so. Both times there was a car in the distance, over 20 feet away that was slowing, and I was slowing as well. The second time it happened, it was with great force and I was fortunate that the car behind me was able to brake in time and avoid rear ending me. Forward collision avoidance
When driving slowly on the highway and changing lanes the car sensed that we were too close to the car in front of us and completely stopped the vehicle. We were not all that close to the car in front of us and we were nearly hit by the car behind us as we stopped. We are concerned that this could happen any time. The car should never stop on its own.
