The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with no other vehicles or objects around, the forward warning collision system was activated. As a result, the automatic emergency braking system applied the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an ind…

This took place over the course of maybe 2-3 seconds, so minimal time to react to the brakes failing. The vehicle went over 3k miles earlier that day and leased back in Sept 24, so still fairly new.

This was new vehicle in the dealer parking lot with 215 miles on it.

Fortunately, interstate was not too crowded. I could sense that it took a great deal of effort effort to slow down the vehicle. So luckily there w…
