So I picked up my Rubicon last week, 240 miles on the clock already and a few day ago while going up a ramp in a garage the car engaged the active safety with the settings set to Near. I found another thread in which someone stated a similar occurrence. I think it's odd as I own 4 other FCA Product that have the same feature but don't have this issue in the same garage.
Today while heading to dinner with my Girlfriend and little sister I was at a red light. The light turned green and the car ahead started to go. With it being around 20-25ft in-front of me I started to go and around 10-15mph in the middle of the intersection the car suddenly said "BRAKE" and stopped my car like in the garage, but this time with traffic behind me moving towards me. The car ahead never tapped the brakes, and if anything was gaining distance on me.
The car behind me was literally inches from my rear bumper and I could do nothing till the car came to a complete stop. The drivers behind me obviously being very annoyed, and that's being kind. Tomorrow I have an appointment to install my side steps at the dealer, I've disabled the active braking and left it on warning as if I turn it completely off I get a light on the dash that it's off and it's annoying.
It's quite worrying and I won't be having this feature turned on in the car again unless we have some type of resolution for this matter. I'm going to install a dash cam now from one of my other vehicles but at the same-time don't want to be rear-ended or have an accident in general trying to prove there is something wrong. Has anyone else suffered something like this?
