“My emergency braking system engaged as I was driving. I was going approx. 35 miles per hour on a city street when it happened. It made a loud grinding sound as it jerked my vehicle to an immediate stop in traffic, causing all the seat belts to jerk tight as we were thrown against them. It only lasted for a split second and I was able to resume driving.”
