There are 2 very serious safety issues that are extremely dangerous with this car. #1 - The Automatic Intervention Rear Brake Auto Brake engages for no reason when there is nothing behind the car. It happens when I am backing up very slowly. It throws me forward and then thrusts me back into the headrest. This has happened 3 times in 2 months. #2- At least two times a week the Information Panel turns off while driving for no reason and goes blank. I can’t see the speedometer, blinkers don't work, lane assist doesn't work, and the map disappears. I have pull off the road and reset it to continue driving. We have taken the car to Premier Volvo dealership 2 times and have spoken to the Asst. Service Manager and the General Sales Manager. The Asst Service Mgr. explained these are well known safety issues. He explained #1 is a problem with no solution and #2 is a Google problem waiting for new software. The General Sales Manager agreed that #1 is an issue, but didn't offer a solution. He also said #2 is a Google software problem with this car, they are waiting for a software update. Also, the sales rep and Service Manager verified these issues are well known problems. These were not disclosed to us when we leased the car.

Hello, I was driving behind a group of cars that unexpectedly slowed, then stopped. I braked, but while I was braking the car unintentionally lunged forward and hit the car in front of me. i know my foot was on the brake because the car initially slowed. My car was totaled and I was injured. The other driver was not injured.
