The vehicle went in for 4 recalls that i was never notified of, other than a flier from autonation saying i have 4 open recalls. I contacted and schedule this immediately upon receipt.

The collision avoidance system activates and slams on the brakes without cause while traveling forward which is startling and dangerous because i have been nearly rear ended by another driver for braking without cause. When parking the gear selector feels like it is in park it is actually in reverse or neutral. Brakes squeak and were wearing groves into rotors when vehicle was brand new. Also the front bumper has…

Last night, i was driving at normal speed down the road and person ahead of me braked gradually to make a turn. I began to softly brake. I had a generous amount of space between me and the car ahead of me - at least 5-6 car lengths. The forward collision warning system activated and slammed on the brakes, causing the car behind me to nearly rear-end me. The system should not have activated as there was no reasonable…
