Since buying this vehicle new, on multiple occasions the automatic braking system has come on approaching other vehicles on a straight stretch of highway even when both I and the approaching vehicle are nowhere near the center line or anywhere near an accident situation. I reported this to the dealership in the first six months after purchase and was told nothing was wrong. The frequency of this happening seems to be increasing.

While driving on the highway truck pressed brakes without any obstacles near or in front of me. This event has happened more than once as of late.

The brakes are soft if you hit the brakes out of the "clear blue". if you recently pressed them within the last couple of seconds, the pedal has a much firmer and grabbier perception. The brakes function nicely, but the variance in brake feel could be detrimental where fractions of a second matter. The vehicle does it all the time regardless of terrain or temperature.
