What owners wrote

Incident 1: Car suddenly applied brakes while traveling at 60 MPH on the fast lane. There was no vehicle in the front for at least 50 ft. ahead. Incident2: Car suddenly applied brakes while traveling at about 40 MPH. Again no vehicle in the front for at least 100 ft. in the front. Worried about the vehicles colliding from the rear and the whiplash effect on the neck, because the braking was not expected. Contacted the dealer. First time I was told to bring it in for check up.
