“We were driving about 35 mph when the car suddenly beeped a warning “brakes” while simultaneously SLAMMING on the brakes. There was a metal construction plate on the roadway at the place where the incident occurred. My left wrist was injured as it was bent back by the steering wheel, my wife wasn’t watching the road and is complaining of neck pain/strain. We feel very lucky there was no one behind us at the time.”

“My vehicle braked hard on its own as I approached a metal pot hole cover in the street. It also flashes a BRAKE warning when I cross over shadows, such as from an overpass.”

Both driver and passenger were thrown forward. Driver sustained neck whiplash injury. The problem will be reported to dealer on Monday. This is a very know issue with this vehicle. The internet is full of complaints and you have already received hundreds of complaints. Add mine to the list. Please address this.”

“The emergency braking was turned off by me a few years ago due to this happening before. Today while I was driving about 35 mph, my car did a hard brake pushing everything including myself to the front giving me whiplash. Good thing nobody was behind me or else they would’ve ran into me for sure. There was nothing even in front of me to even cause this to even happen. I will be calling the dealership about this tomorrow. There was no warning lamps, messages or anything else to indicate this was about to happen or should be happening.”
