Your vehicle's forward collision avoidance system is activating and hard-braking while you're driving at highway speeds (70 mph) even when there's nothing in front of you and weather conditions are clear. This is happening repeatedly despite clear skies and no visible obstructions or sensor blockages. The system may need recalibration or the sensors may require inspection and cleaning.

Your brakes suddenly activated on their own while driving, which your dealer couldn't reproduce or diagnose because no error codes appeared. After the dealer disabled your front sensor, the problem happened again intermittently. The manufacturer is aware and has filed a case, but without error codes or a repeatable failure, a permanent fix hasn't been attempted. This issue likely involves the forward collision avoidance system's sensors or control module needing replacement or reprogramming.
