Vehicle is 2 months old and the automatic emergency braking is going off in the middle of the street with no cars around. today it went off in the middle of traffic and luckily the driver behind me was paying attention. i called the dealer to ask about servicing the recall and they said they did not have a solution. when i told them i almost got rear ended. their response was thank goodness you didn't and if there was anything else they could help me with. zero offers to help or concern for an obvious safety issue with this vehicle.
I was driving on us one between ft. pierce and vero beach, just before christmas, 2019. there was no traffic in front or besides me, although there were cars approaching from the rear. the car suddenly violently shook and came to an immediate stop. i tried to start it, and nothing happened. i could see cars coming up behind me and knew i could easily be hit from the rear. thankfully they saw i wasn't moving, and they were able to move to the other lane. after 5 or 6 attempts, i finally got the car started and pulled off the road. i had not heard anything about this problem and thought perhaps i had caused the situation. i did not report it at that time as i did not consider it could be a defect. i now know that it is.
Dear sir or madam, i leased a new mazda 3 on 12/20/2019. at the time of signing all documents i was provided with a document to sign that the dealership were not allowed to sell me a car with an open recall. after registering with the mazda app i found out that there is an open recall. is this legal and what are my rights? this seems extremely dishonest. i would appreciate your feedback and advice on what i can do in this situation. the vehicle may unexpectedly stop while driving due to inadvertent activation of the smart braking system (sbs) automatic emergency braking system. many thanks
Automatic break system malfunctions often and does a hard break. also the perimeter sensor gets disabled numerous time out of blue while driving and stop functioning until the car restarts. the break happens without any prior indication or same situation. it just happens on the regular road as well as highway. but the highway just scares me. but there is no way i can tell mazda with a proof.

- rear view mirror fell off while on the freeway. hot days will break down the adhesive and cause the rear view mirror to fall off. - brakes vibrate harshly when in sport mode. faster the vehicle goes, the more harsh the brakes will vibrate. - acc
