I'm not sure but I think it's the regenerative brakes. They came on so hard when I let off the gas. I was almost rear ended and the guy behind me was pissed off. I was on the 15 fwy going about 70 when I let off the gas and the brakes slammed on. And on cost hwy going about 30 mph let off the gas and the brakes slammed on.
While operating my vehicle, in motion, the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) light comes on frequently for no reason. This occurs while driving in both city street & highway driving as well. The cmbs system has also fully activated by itself a few times, for no apparent reason, resulting in the brakes locking up completely. This could have resulted in my being hit from behind as I have no control over the vehicle when this occurs. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer for this problem more than once, and was told that the system was operating normally. Apparently there is no fix for this problem. When the light comes on and the system activates I feel very unsafe operating the vehicle. The problem has been there since the vehicle was purchased new in July 2017. Date selected below is the first of many occurrences, to include just yesterday*.
Collision detection system falsely goes off on a regular basis due to opposing traffic. Slams brakes to floor, overriding accelerator- has happened in the middle of an intersection twice and on a two way straightaway with no vehicle in my lane. I've had the car for 1 month and almost been in 3 accidents due to this faulty system which I am now deactivating. I've driven vehicles with these before (Ford) and it never went off like this- the system is defective and dangerous.
