The vehicle was travelling at 25mph and we were about to cross railroad tracks. Just before reaching the tracks, the front assist system engaged and the vehicle applied the breaks automatically and came to a sudden and full stop. There was no reason for the system to engage since the road and the tracks were empty and the railroad ramp was in the upright position.

Panoramic sunroof popped and shattered while driving on the highway. No evidence of any rocks or debris hitting it prior to it exploding. Glass showed outward depression, not inward, after cracking.
I bought my brand new Atlas in October. We decided on Atlas due to the great safety ratings. Within a few weeks, the Atlas was in the shop for O2 sensor #1. The check engine came on while driving on a state road. A few weeks later it was in for replacement of steering rack. The extremely loud noises started while driving on a state road. A few weeks after that the second O2 sensor replaced. The check engine came on while driving on a state road. Now I have an appointment to bring it in on Monday because the remote start that I use every morning stopped working Tuesday. As of today, it hasn't even hit 3,000 miles.
