Last month I was involved in an accident that could have been avoided if my sensors were working properly, my emergency brake system did not employ after being involved in an accident I used my standard brake the car went down being rear-ended somebody but I had plenty of time to stop with only the front brakes to bullying allowed my car to nosedive and slide emergency brake was not released and stopped working because of sensors were no longer telling the car to break I had full coverage insurance and insurance…
Intermittent problem with emergency braking system. When obstruction is detected the emergency braking system will override all use of manual braking. The brake pedal will go to the floor without activating any form of brakes for a few seconds and the automatic brakes do nothing. Once while trying to stop on a 55MPH highway for a traffic light and once while entering a one lane construction zone on a 70MPH interstate.
