2019 FORD EDGE ST RANDOMLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. STRANGELY AND AT THE SAME TIME THE TACHOMETER RED LINED AT 6500 RPM, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DID NOT REV UP! THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY STOPPED GOING LESS THAN 10 MPH DOWNHILL.
AT LESS THAN 10 MPH GOING DOWN A HILL, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES BRINGING THE SUV TO AN IMMEDIATE HARD STOP. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE BRAKING AS THE ROAD AHEAD WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, TWICE WITH ME AND TWICE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING!
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY APPLIED THE BRAKES BRINGING THE SUV TO AN IMMEDIATE HARD STOP. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE BRAKING AS THE ROAD AHEAD WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR.
