brakes and alarm activate when passing truck sometimes Beginning in September 2015 (47,000 miles ) when i would pass a large truck on interstate (sometimes) the alarm would sound and the brakes would go on. Did it about every third truck. Took vehicle into dealer in Amarillo ( Could find no problem ) Continued the problem as I went west. Dealer in Palm Springs said it was caused by a wasps nest in the wrong place. On my trip back to Missouri it continued to act up and in some cases when I was not within a mile of another vehicle. Got back to Missouri. Took it to dealer. They could not get it to malfunction. We talked about replacing the system, BUT" there was not one available in the United States"

They had no advice as to what I should do. It has not reacted in this manner for about 200 miles, but, I don't trust it. They say that the factory has had no other reports of similar problem.
