Reported at 80,000 miles, November 2020 CrashInjury

Intermittent problem with emergency braking system. When obstruction is detected the emergency braking system will override all use of manual braking.

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.
