“The Automatic brake goes on and off randomly. It has caused an accident in my vehicle and also two flat tires and wheel damage. The sensors will make it brake on a smooth road with no vehicles nearby. It will also brake in the rain while turning a corner. It has put my safety at risk. I have a child under 1 year old that should this brake system lock up on me and cause an accident with my child in the car it could pose serious harm. This has been an issue since I first received the vehicle.”

“There has been multiple times that my 2019 passport has had the “brake” indicator pop up on my dash telling me to brake when there is nothing there I mean like a completely empty road.

This has happened multiple times with someone driving behind me and I fear it could cause a crash due to the car randomly braking so hard.”
