What owners wrote

Driving at approximately 35-40 MPH with no vehicles in sight, no obstacles, on a clear day, the front collision alert turned on and the vehicle brakes were strongly applied. It was extremely rough and frightening for my daughter and I. There was no explanation for it. Since then, it has happened sporadically, at least 5 more times at any given speed and same conditions as above. I have since turned off the feature (fortunately an option).

Reported at 4,200 miles, June 2015

This and all other GM vehicles have faulty anti lock brakes that do not function correct on snow or ice. What should be a normal stop in a normal distance turns into the brakes going into anti lock if even one wheel looses traction. This extends stopping distance by about 5 times what it would be without anti lock brakes. Yesterday again I almost hit another vehicle when I when through an intersection.
