At a speed of 30mph, was slowing down coming up to a red light, as the brakes were being pressed the motor began to rev up and try to accelerate despite me fully pressing the brakes. I had to put the vehicle in neutral and shut it down. I merely missed hitting another vehicle.

My vehicle has active collision protection. The system is awesome however it seems like when you apply the brake the vehicle assumes your depth perception and senses will avoid a collision. I think the vehicle computer and sensors should still make the ultimate decision to stop the vehicle.

My 2015 jeep grand cherokee is equipped with sensors that can activate the braking if the car detects a collision. It seems as though these sensors are too sensitive and cause the car to slam on the brakes when there is no need for it.

The automatic emergency braking system activates on the highway for reason. I have been to the dealer repeatedly during the warranty period and they can't fix the problem. It activates at times with nobody in front of me and sometimes with a clear lane ahead of me and a truck next to me.
