The Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) software fails to detect a connected trailer harness. The truck experiences un-commanded, sudden emergency braking during multi-point turns when going from forward to reverse when manueverimg a trailer, creating an immediate hazard of neck injury, trailer jackknifing on public roadways or loss of control. this is on a truck that has a brake controller for trailers, the truck knows a trailer is hooked up but repeatedly turns the RAB back on after it driver disables it, furthermore the truck does not have a driver configuration option in settings to permanently disable these features but rather has a temporary button on the center console which resets every time the truck goes from forward to reverse.
