Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

Vehicle suddenly slams on the brakes at highway speeds (35-45 mph) with no obstacle, car, or person ahead.
The forward collision/automatic emergency braking system activates unexpectedly while rounding curves or turns, sometimes disengaging steering input.
Sudden phantom braking events have nearly caused rear-end collisions from following traffic and in one case caused a side-swipe crash.
Owners report the system decelerates the truck from normal speed down to near a full stop or as low as 10 MPH before releasing.
Dealers have been unable to reproduce the phantom braking issue during test drives after owners bring the vehicle in for service.
Some incidents come with an audible alert or dash warning light, while others give no warning at all before hard braking occurs.
