When driving on citi street at 40MPH the vehicle randomly initiated the automatic emergency breaking system. The vehicle almost came to a complete stop in the middle of morning traffic. Almost had the vehicle behind me rear end me. The vehicle was taken to BMW dealer and a software update was performed. This is the second time that this has occurred. The vehicle will periodically still display collision warning light when nothing is even near the vehicle.

Repeated warning of 'rreduced driver assistance support
My car has been at the bmw dealership twice for these incidents. The incidents have happened a total of 4 times. The first time, I was driving about 45 miles per hour along the city street, woodruff ave in long beach. It was a sunny day and there were no other cars around me when the car suddenly starts beeping and dash blinks and then car slams on brakes automatically until it comes to a stop. I am not sure what caused the problem but I think it may be the sensors for the automatic collision braking system. The second time I was going about 15 MPH coming up to a right turn in the right turn lane of a city street. There was a car in the left lane that was stopped at the traffic light. My car then sounds the alarm, flashes the warning and slams on the brakes to a stop. My business partner was in the car with me during this time. The third time was october 16, 2020 when I was driving on a city street and there was a car stopped about 30 feet ahead. I was slowing down when the car sounded the alarm, flashed on the screen the warning (which I took a pic of) and the brakes applied automatically and the car stopped. The fourth and last time, the car did not apply the brakes but the warning systems came on and the dash flashed. I took the car again to bmw and bmw north america sent out a field engineer. They have the car from october 23, 2020 to november 18, 2020 at which time they said they could not find anything wrong with my car.
The car has a warning system that has a proxmity system. The car at least once a month brakes while driving indicating a car or obsticle in front of me. Nothing has been in front of me while the car self brakes. The dealership said it must of been due to fog. With the repeated problem no fog or bad weather existed.
While reversing our car in our garage, the car trunk pop open and hit our garage roof creating scratches and peeled paint on the trunk lid.
Problem is more noticeable driving at 80mph on the highway. Vehicle veer left and right and constant very small turnings need to be applied to keep car centered, much more noticeable when passing between two trucks or when moderate wind is encountered. Took to the dealer, they drove the car and mechanic stated nothing wrong with the car and. However, I never had this same pervasive problem with any other SUV I owned in the past. Is dangerous and can cause an accident while this is occurring.
