Overactive nanny system - reversing brake

[gianteli]

Has anyone experienced an instantaneous (e.g. fast, but not persistent) braking on reverse, as if there was something the car was preventing you from hitting something, only there isn't anything there? I live in the city, and there are always things going on when reversing, but the car will slam on the brakes for <1s before regaining its composure, often multiple times in a single reverse motion. It's incredibly annoying and I'm pretty sure has to do with the blind spot protection, but it is inaccurate and irksome. There doesn't appear to be an obvious way to turn this off...anyone have a similar experience or solution?

Few times it happened to me:
1. First time I didn't have my seatbelt on so the system thought I was leaving the car and slammed the brakes multiple times while I was completing the reverse. Very strange.... Should have not allow me to go in Reverse in the first place
2. Second time was Reverse + seatbelt on and multiple warnings for side collision were triggered but there was just a bin.

Funny about the seatbelt thing...On my first couple of drives the ACC wouldn't engage because it said my seatbelt was unbuckled, which it wasn't. Maybe this is a buggy seatbelt sensor?
