“Dear NHTSA, my automatic emergency braking system warned and autobraked my vehicle during my normal driving without any signs of emergency - no cars are in front of me along the whole street. Luckily, no one was hurt. My webcam caught it. If possible, please put attention to this case as all the owners are in danger. It seems that I cannot upload videos but I will be very happy to provide it as an evidence.”

“This is now the 2nd time this happened!! The car slams on the brakes as if someone is right in front of the car randomly. I was driving around 40mph and no one was in front or next to me, the car randomly slams on the breaks and it takes a few seconds for the car to release the breaks and allows you to start moving again.the sensors go off as if you are too close, when no cars are even in sight. Very dangerous!!!!! This will be killing people, needs a recall asap! Many people have the same complaints online and Infiniti does nothing to help”

“Dating back to november 2019, my vehicle's automatic emergency braking have engaged 3 times without reasonable cause at speeds that vary from 40-70 MPH. The first two incidents were on normal city roads going approximately 40-45 MPH. The last incident (june 2020) happened while driving on a highway, with no traffic around, going ~70 MPH and my vehicle almost came to a complete stop. The first time I took the vehicle into the dealership, they reset the system. The most recent time they said the incident happened twice to technician and their assumption was the vehicle was not clean enough. …”

“The forward emergency breaking(feb) with pedestrian detection and predictive forward collision warning(pfcw) did not activate when I was starting up from a 4 way stop sign intersection on a city street. My 2019 QX50 was in motion when it crashed into another vehicle on the passenger door and wheel well. Airbags did not deploy as the QX50 was , I estimate, traveling <15 MPH. Damage to the 2019 QX50 was apprx $9k. I will share auto body itemized repair parts once the QX50 is returned to me. Due to the QX50 being a 2019 not all parts are available in the Infiniti inventory. …”

“While driving on the highway and using the hands free feature on iPhone, I said, Hey Siri, and somehow it made the automatic braking on my 2019 Infiniti Qx50 engage unexpectedly. This is not the first time it has engaged unexpectedly and there are also instances when the sensors engage without anything nearby.”
