What owners wrote
While driving on a highway and passing under a road sign describing the next exit, the sprinter van automatic crash avoidance kicked in, causing the van to automatically jam on the brakes and lose approximately 20 MPH while causing the wheel to pull decidedly to the left. There were no vehicles in front or behind, and thankfully enough none close enough to cause an accident.
