Narrative

I’ve had the car for 7 months. Three (3) times the forward collision avoidance (FCA) has engaged (full stop braking) when it was absolutely not necessary. All three times occurred while driving less than 30 mph on city side streets in Houston, TX. On the first and third occasions there was a car in front of me but that car and my car were both slowing down as we approached a red light. My car suddenly slammed on the brakes; I did not hit the car in front nor was I hit from behind. On the second occasion, I was making a right turn and the FCA slammed on the brakes and I was hit from behind. There was no damage to an older model car that hit me. My car had $785 in damage repairs. No insurance claim was filed. After incident #2 ( the one with damage) I adjusted the sensitivity of the FCA to have a slower reaction. It didn’t help as I had a third incident. My make/model will not let me permanently disable the FCA. After incident #3, I have been trying to remember to disable the FCA each time I start the car. I have not reported this to the dealer. I will be bringing the car to the dealer next week for this issue. The date below is for the incident when I got hit.
