SERVICE BRAKES
ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, I APPLY BREAKS, BREAK PEDDLE IS SOFT AND GOES TO THE FLOOR, I SWERVE TO AVOID COLLISION AND QUICKLY PUMP THE BREAKS TO REGAIN PEDDLE AND APPLY BREAKS AGAIN (THIS TIME BRAKES ENGAGE). 6 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. 4 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR AND TWICE ON A HIGHWAY. CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE AND ME TO REACT. IT APPEARS THE SYSTEM OVERRIDES THE BRAKES TAKING CONTROL AWAY FROM ME. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT BRAKE THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER OCCUR WAS WHEN I WAS LAUNCHING MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE. I WAS BACKING UP AND LOST BRAKE PRESSURE AND HAD TO APPLY MY EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP MY TRUCK FROM GOING INTO THE WATER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS, 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DATE LISTED BELOW WAS THE LAST OCCURRENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. (NOT THE PRIOR 5 OCCURRENCES)
