Tire blow and lost control hit the tree.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the forward collision warning and rear collision warning systems malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to brake unexpectedly when there was no obstacle or threat. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the vehicle braked suddenly and forcefully without cause. This created a risk of being rear-ended in traffic, nearly caused an accident, and also risked injury to my dog who was inside the vehicle during one of the incidents. The sudden braking while backing out of my garage also poses a safety hazard. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? the problem has occurred multiple times but has not yet been formally reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no, the vehicle or component has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the braking events. The problem occurred suddenly without any prior indication.
I manage a fleet of 12 of these vehicles for a veterans affairs hospital. I have had numerous complaints from the drivers about how distracting and invasive these systems are for the drivers. The red dash lights are blinding, the audible alert scares someone who is not used to these things and are very distracting in a tense moment when you need to be reacting, you cannot because you are too distracted by these systems. I myself am a disabled veteran with ptsd, and this system sends triggers my ptds to where I cannot operate the vehicle. Please design something less invasive for anyone with anxiety/ptsd/depression/epilepsy/light sensitivity. For someone with any of these conditions these vehicles are completely inoperable as soon as the red light glares back off the windshield.
