I was driving on a two way highway at 55 mph with no cars in front of me in my lane. An incoming car in the other lane going about 55 or more mph was driving in the other lane. As the car got closer to my car and in their lane, the Honda Fit sensors went off. First, the brake signal flashed on the panel and made a loud warning noise. Secondly, my steering wheel rattled. Lastly, the car started to brake quickly. Luckily, I softly hit the brakes and it overrode the sensor. It felt like it was starting to do a full stop on the highway with cars behind me. This has happened a second time at 45 mph. Now I have to turn off the sensors every time. I worry it will glitch again or turn on and brake at a full stop without my control. The turning sensors also are malfunctioning especially at turns. Even when you are in between the lines and going slow, it turns on and slides you towards the middle, yellow line and towards oncoming traffic.
