   The braking system does not engage properly and is worse in the rain. When adaptive cruise control is on, the car does not slow down at every instance when there is a car in front slowing down. When the car finally realizes there's an object/car in front it then slips before engaging in traction control, which seems to make the car actually slide forward rather than attempting to stop immediately.

The vehicle slips and launches forward several times before braking force applies, and the traction control system activates prior to adequate deceleration. It feels like the brakes aren't catching properly. This condition occurs consistently and repeatedly, including on dry pavement, and is worse on wet pavement. It is…

    Multiple times, while both reversing and driving forward, the vehicle has initiated hard emergency braking maneuvers when no emergency exists -- no rear or front cross traffic, no pedestrians. This is dangerous and could initiate a crash with other cars following the vehicle.
