“While driving on the highway the collision sensors on the vehicle suddenly turned off. This is common and I simply turned them back on. A few minutes later they turned back off followed by a brief flash of the traction control light about a minute later. The braking system engaged without warning, two yellow lights illuminated where the forward collision sensor typically alerts, for roughly a second and a half despite all collision sensors registering as off-line and in a failed state. While attempting to stop the vehicle the braking system then failed to operate as expected. …”
