Car was operating fine, then when we got on the highway, we noticed the check engine light had come on but were unable to get off the highway. The vehicle then began slowing down despite pressing down on the gas pedal. Vehicle continued to slow to about 15mph and we were hit by another car.
When driving there’s a feature that flashes across the screen saying consider taking a break and makes noise. This happens especially during inclement weather and is an incredible distraction that I cannot disable.
Vehicle’s sunroof glass spontaneously exploded while driving. No rock or other foreign object impacted it. Interior shade below glass was closed at the time of the incident. Loud pop heard. Glass appeared blown up and out from explosion. Vehicle was a rental vehicle owned by enterprise car rental.
Driver attention warning system. It is often incorrect, and extremely annoying, and distracting. It can not be shut off. It does not understand that wind, and potholes cause somewhat erratic driving habits, coupled with overly sensitive steering systems. Issue occurred on the maine turnpike, at legal speeds, and persisted for the entire journey from gray to houlton. Approximately every five minutes, I would get an alert.
