I was on the highway driving to sheboygan , wi from chicago, il. I had the cruise control on. I was going 80 in the fast lane. My car out of nowhere slowed down on its own abruptly almost causing a 4 car collision. I quickly turned on to the shoulder and once my car came to a stop the car died.
I was driving on the highway doing 60 MPH and all warning lights sounds and the breaks came on and stopped me without me touching them
On four occasions my car has randomly started flashing a light on my dash and than grabbing the brakes as if someone or something was in front of me, on all four occasions there has been no one in front of me, but there has been people behind me that have had to swerve out of the way.
