The so-called intelligent brake assist system on the 2013 Infiniti JX35 crossover may not have lived up to its name in two cases, if we are to believe complaints submitted to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI).
According to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), two drivers allege, “that the intelligent brake assist system inappropriately activated emergency braking autonomously bringing the vehicle to an immediate and complete stop.”
In the same report, the consumers also laid claims to “experiencing multiple events in the same locations and road conditions”.
The safety agency said that it has opened a preliminary investigation into the matter to “assess the cause, scope and frequency of the alleged defect”.
We will post an update on the issue as soon as the NHTSA reports on its findings.
