[XXX] Yesterday around 11:15AM CDT I was traveling north at 45 MPH right lane (4 lane road) no other cars around me (neither ahead, to the side or behind) and just before I reached a tree shaded spot on the road the Break Alert light started flashing and the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged and slammed on the brakes (seemed like it cut the gas or electric power to the engine as my foot was on the accelerator pedal).
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Forward Collision Avoidance feature was activated; however, the Forward Collision Avoidance feature failed to function as intended.
