Adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance did not work properly, and resulted in a collision. I was driving on a highway, relying on the adaptive cruise control and the automatic braking, a feature of collision avoidance.

Twice now since i purchased this vehicle (in april of this year) i have experienced incidents of what appear to be random proximity collision alerts (indicated by brake!! On the console) followed by a sudden automatic braking, for which i discerned no pending threats in the line of travel. This action resulted in an unexpected and very unnerving sudden drop in vehicle speed in traffic; in the latter case i was…

Forward collision warning and mitigation - engaged on a clear day, at freeway speed (55 mph), with no vehicles in front of me or beside me. My car braked hard and the 'brake!' flashed on the dashboard screen. If there had been a car behind me, i would've been rear ended.

Driving approx. 20 mph in city traffic, car in front stopped suddenly. I tried to apply brakes and the auto-braking system also flashed on dashboard to "brake!" but when i tried to, the brakes were not as responsive as usual. I applied tremendous pressure on the brake pedal (so much so that my foot still hurts over a week later) and the brakes did not react as they typically do, so i hit the car in front of me.
