Driving normally in a 30mph zone yesterday in my ST Line X - one week old from new - and all 4 brakes went on bringing me to a grinding halt ! Luckily the car behind was far enough away and stopped and the young cyclist who I had overtaken was petrified. Red message on dashboard screen with Pre Collision Assist. Rang the dealer and now turned off Active Braking - seems to be more dangerous than helpful !!

Thought I'd turned it off ! It resets after each journey - best I could do was turn the sensitivity to LOW and hope for the best - doesn't inspire you with confidence !! Apart from that car is great.

I use the adaptive cruise a lot, and there is one piece of road - nothing obvious, where the vehicle will suddenly slow down and make a horrible noise like a tube train coming to a halt. It doesn't stop, just reduces speed quite quickly with this sound. I haven't noticed anything come up on the display, but then I was watching the mirror!!!

Yes I've had this warning a few times as well couldn't understand why as I was well clear of other vehicles I think it's to sensitive and almost s**t myself wondering what's going on

I think it also depends on the speed you are approaching the obstacle/vehicle. If you are already braking it shouldn't show. Sometimes it doesn't recognise that a vehicle is turning away from you so won't be where it thinks it will be at collision time...
