I really hoped I didn't have to post here.
Clear night, 41 degrees, no fog, no precipitation, no snow, no wet roads. Just driving down i66 at 70mph to run an errand with my son and while there were vehicles behind me, there were no vehicles in front of me in either lane. I was in the right lane using Adaptive Cruise Control with the lane keep assist on. Out of no where on a straight flat section of the highway the truck went into collision prevention and popped up the BRAKE! message with all the red background. I did get my foot on the brakes to shut off the ACC but there was another truck behind me about 5 car lengths away. He was able to get into the passing lane before my truck stopped trying to haul down my speed. At 45mph it let go of the brakes and I was able to get back up to speed as traffic was fast approaching. I pulled over at the next exit and went to back the truck into a parking space that had NO vehicles on either sides of it and the collision braking went off again and stopped the truck immediately (this is not the first occurrence of the rear sensors sending a false positive, probably the 3rd now). Once parked I inspected everything I could visually and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
What a heart attack maker. I really thought I was going to cause an accident. I'm sure everyone who saw it thought I was a complete idiot. I was able to drive home with no incidents and had my son recording my description of the events while we anticipated another collision prevention false positive to occur.
I have all the settings for ACC and Lane keep set to the maximum. I will be returning those settings to default.
I just got my Dashcam delivered and will be installing it before the next time I need to drive. I will be contacting my dealer to see how they would proceed.
