NHTSA complaint #10577322, filed 2014-04, 15,500 miles“The collision avoidance system activated while at freeway speed, however there were no cars or obstructions ahead of my car.

I had just passed a semi-truck and thought maybe a reflection from the truck may have activated the system, but I had completed the passing maneuver before the car braking activated. Took the car to the dealer on 4/4 but they reported no problems with the system. …”
