On a clear lane with the forward car 5 car lengths away with traffic flowing, the automatic emergency braking (aeb) activated slowing my car down from 65mph to 30mph. I deactivated aeb on my exit and changed the aeb distance from “normal” to “near”.
Mazda 6's from 2017 have a known, reported defect that causes the touch screen to "ghost touch" and randomly enter into the car's menus and change settings, dial phone numbers, delete entries, etc. There is a service bulletin issued to replace the touchscreen cover/lens but Mazda does not honor this repair for cars out of warranty and want to charge customers for this repair. This is a potential liability since the car can change safety settings that a driver is accustomed and relies on without their knowledge possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
