highFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Mar 2026

Your car's automatic emergency braking system has activated unexpectedly three times without any apparent reason, most recently after your warranty expired. Each time this happened during clear daytime conditions, the brakes engaged briefly, which could potentially cause a rear-end collision if another vehicle was following closely. Your dealer found no recalls or explanation for the issue and suggested documenting the circumstances if it happens again. Addressing this will likely require a diagnostic scan of the forward collision avoidance system and possibly replacement of the camera or radar sensors that control automatic braking.
