## Narrative
In the past month, or so, my automatic emergency braking system has initiated, for no apparent reason.  Last night's incident was the most severe.  I was driving about 25-30 miles per hour, accelerating (to get to the speed limit of 35 mph), when the car's automatic braking system slammed on the brakes, causing my car to lunge forward. It was not a slight brake slowdown; it was a strong, immediate, brief stop.  I am grateful that nobody was traveling close behind me, otherwise I would have been rear-ended.  The very strong motion jerked me so that both of my wrists and my neck are now hurting.  I am now very nervous about driving my vehicle; and, especially having passengers with me.  I have left a message for the service manager at my Honda dealer (where I purchased my new vehicle in 2019), and am awaiting a return call.
