2014 Impala Under Investigation For Brakes That Kick In At Speed For No Reason

 U.S. regulators are investigating whether a 2014 Chevrolet Impala's automatic-braking system kicked in unexpectedly at 40 miles per hour, causing a crash.

A 2014 Chevrolet Impala owner said his car's driver-assist system turned on and forced a complete stop with "full braking force," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in announcing the investigation on its Web site today.

The Impala owner experienced multiple events at different locations and in various road conditions, the agency said.

General Motors was not immediately available for comment.

I think that would be called "unintended deceleration"!
GM is getting into all sorts of trouble these day...

"Deceleration" is a made-up word. "Negative acceleration" is the correct terminology. :)
