1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2022

Was driving down the road it was raining no other vehicles around braking! came on the screen and the brakes were applied without me doing it. The second time it happened brakes locked up on interstate for a couple seconds then back to normal. If anyone would have been behind us we would have been rear ended. It happened 2 times within an hour. I will be getting it looked at by the dealership as soon as I can.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2021

It was freezing outside, but not icy on the road. Well lit. I was not in a rush. Car was in excellent shape up until then. I was going ~10 pmh down the inside parking garage driveway. Had to pull to the right due to car coming up partially on my side. Scratched the side wall. Once that happened, the car accelerated out of control. Brakes didn't react. Only way to stop the car before running into other cars or even people was steering the car into the wall front on. The car finally stopped, the wall broke down. The airbags didn't go off, the brake assistance system didn't kick in. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but could have easily happened. The car is a total loss. I was not under the influence of drugs and don't have a seizure disorder. Witnessed every single second fully awake and aware.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2021

A big warning comes on my dash board saying brakes and automatically stops while driving on the highway. This happened twice. It is scarey because there is no reason I need to brake nor can I control that the car is force braking it self. I have read 2 other complaints about this issue and both have ended in crashing the vehicle due to the computer force braking itself in the SUV.
