Driving N.Bound on Hwy 270. Traveling 50-55 mph. Mores than 2.5 sec from car in front of me per my dash board. Car in front slammed on brakes but did not come to a complete stop. My Braking system kicked and started slowing me down. The car in front of me started accelerating again at this time I was doing 10-15 mph. She slammed on her breaks again and my breaking system kicked in again but I also slammed my foot on the break. My car did not stop immediately it felt like the braking system had control over how fast I could stop my car. When my car was towed to the shop I had mentioned it to the shop workers but not much was said after that

Electrical system (Sound system, Bluetooth, graphics, and backup camera), and Automatic Braking - available for inspection Screen glitches using apple car play (wireless and wired), and in general (have pictures and videos) Backup camera is a fishbowl and stays on when driving at 45 mph or at any speed (have video) Car electrical system stays on when doors are shut, engine off and key removed for prolonged amounts of time (have video) Does not brake, only flashes and chimes when driving between 5-50mphs - If I was to get into an accident and the car did not stop itself driving in the range it's supposed to work then that will be an even larger issue at hand. Noticed sound issue when sitting in the car with sales person on the phone with OnStar and didn't think of it being an issue, and they noticed it to. Then the issue kept going on and more things were happening so, I brought to the dealership on 06/05/2024 for the first time for mentioned issues and told they could not duplicate because the car was built by robots. Returned to the dealership on 06/14/2024 for a second time and was advised that they would have the car for a week - was spoken to like I was undereducated and belittled by staff. Told to not get confused when signing paperwork for loaner. Car has been returned as of 6/15/2024, and was advised that they didn't do much and the sound system was due to the settings being adjusted and not at factory setting 0 (what is the point of the settings if you cannot adjust the sound, it's been like this for decades now - have on invoice). Overall, I am highly upset with this dealership and car manufacturer because although it may seem like pointless electrical issues - if something else malfunctions it could be detrimental. Lastly, the dealership could not comprehend the videos, or photos I sent and I could not figure out how to explain something that wasn't hard to figure out. I don't appreciate being blamed twice now for issues that I did not cause.

Electrical System
While driving on the interstate at about 65 mph both the screen for the speedometer and the screen with the radio controls went totally black/blank. After about 2-3 minutes it came back on. The car continued to operate normally when this occurred. The car is new with only about 400 miles.
