Electronic Stability Control problem

The "sbs" system is a dangerous add to the vehicle. It is meant to warn the driver about vehicles suddenly slowing or braking in front of you. Three times this system has caused me near collisions (the system applied the brakes hard and cause the wheels too lock not allowing me to take a safe defensive actions) when the system activated when the "danger" was clearly gone or I took safe action and changed lanes to avoid a collision. The above incidents involved me driving on surface streets at posted speeds of 35-45 mph. This all happened with in a 2-3 week span of time when I had not disabled this feature manually. The road conditions were dry, daylight hours and semi clear days. All the above incidents involved vehicles turning in-front of me. The last time this incident happened was 05/08/19.
