Go down road, straight, less than 40, automatic braking system we off with no one in front of me or in lane next to me.
The most recent incident: driving 35 mph on a 4 lane divided boulevard, vehicle 5-6 car lengths in front of me indicates intention to turn right. No traffic in lane to my left should I need to change lanes. I continue to coast. At approximately 2-3 car lengths, the vehicle in front has nearly completed the right turn - there is no risk of collision - but my car brakes hard. This is the 4th time my car has activated emegency braking in a situation it is not warranted. I have been dirving for 36 years with no accident. I do not need nor want this technology as it is more prone to causing accidents than preventing them. Additionally, the car throttle response is slow to recover in these situations, so while I mashed the acclerator to the floor to avoid being rear-ended - the car did not accelerate for 1-2 seconds (rpm went up, but the engine did not engage for several seconds). In situations where aeb might have been marginally helpful, detecting cross traffic running red lights, the car has never detected this - and thankfully I'm an experienced driver so aeb was not needed. This technology, imo, is not safe and will lead to over-reliance causing more accidents in the future.
I had coplained about a long, soft brake pedal on 10 February 2024 to hiley fort worth motorcars and got a report on 13 February 2024 stated that after inspection, they could not duplicate my complaint, so they did a visual inspection and washed the car!!!! today, 29 may 2024, I had to make an emergency stop and pressed the brake pedal to the floor! the abs came on, but the brake pedal should never reach the floor. The other car had stopped and I swerved out of the way. No warning lights came on nor sounds. Additional information; if the brakes are applied by the adaptive cruise control, and you step on the brake pedal after the brakes have been applied automatically, the brake pedal is nice and firm, like it should be. But if there is no intervention with the car, the brake pedal is very long and soft.
