This involves the expensive safety accessory: "forward collision avoidance "on this vehicle, this safety feature is intermittent. As I'm driving on a city street or freeway, the unit suddenly turns off and at the same time, the cruise control turns off. In order to re-engage the systems, the engine must be turned off and re-started. The problems started about 2 months ago. ( oct. -2015) I count on this safety feature. (forward collision avoidance) as an example, the car in front has no brake lights, I have no idea that it is slowing and comes to an abrupt stop. This could result in a collision, whereas the avoidance feature gives plenty of warning in regards to the sudden slowing of the vehicle in front. I wonder how many of these units may have original factory defects, yet have not been reported? thank you.
