“My car randomly engaged emergency brakes while driving 70+ mph on the highway with no cars nearby. It almost came to a complete stop but i was able to accelerate again. it was not acting as a safety features because there was not a car close to my front. I am concerned if it happens again i could get in a crash and rear ended. The dealership does not seem concerned”

The driver broke her right ankle from standing on the brake pedal. The brakes were ineffective at stopping the vehicle.

There were numerous other injuries sustained. No one outside of the vehicle was injured.”
