My experience is somewhat similar. Driving to West Virginia from Pennsylvania I began to creep up on a semi and Passport would not get any closer and the stuttering began. It took a few seconds for me to realize it was the collision system operating. It was my third day with my new Passport. Still learning all its features. Love driving it too. Former Pilot owner.
 
It's been a bit better but I still turn it off if I'm in a rush. Hopefully I won't regret that decision one day. Still would prefer to crash the car myself rather than the car making a surprising decision for me. The annoying thing is you have to turn it off every time you get in the car. Not a biggie.
We just returned from Long Island, NY to Hanover, PA in a non-stop rain storm. With speeds in the mid-70's and much traffic with lots of passing the Collision avoidance system and the Lane Keeping systems became annoying and intrusive to the driving conditions and I turned off as both interfered with the traffic flow. They are nice to have but are not needed in all driving situations.
 
As a person who basically lives in NJ and lived in LI I can relate! Did you try the adaptive cruise? I am looking forward to seeing how it works on the first trip to the Island.
I forgot to mention that I disconnected that too. Even with the closest distance setting, with it maintaining the minimum distance, many drivers simply cut ahead of me and the system slowed me down to maintain the safe distance. I found that if your paying attention, the Adaptive Cruise Control system is really unnecessary. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Also, spending four days on LI with much driving, I did not see one PP. Could it be LI is the wrong market for the PP? Or is it that we're still a new car in town.
 
I have seen one besides mine. Looked at inventories and they are pretty high IMO. The same cars I looked at are still over a month later. I think of it being inspired by a classic SUV for people who want a decent amount of cargo space, higher ride, and powerful engine. It's not a 4runner offroad edition but it will do fine in most basic conditions.
Your comment of " . . inventories and they are pretty high IMO." Are the PP's not selling as well as us owners thought they were or should? Hmmmmm.
 
Back on the original topic...

I’ve had the BRAKE light go off fairly frequently when there wasn’t an impending collision. Haven’t had the brakes tap, though, unless I really was behind someone. One such occurrence the guy cut me off...that was a bit unsettling.

I’m glad to have the system, though, as long as it doesn’t apply the brakes incorrectly. Given some of the random times these safety features sometimes activate, I’m not entirely trusting of them.
I've experienced the same event. I'll be driving along and the word BRAKE appears in the driver's information panel for seemingly no reason. Can't figure out whats activating it. I'm not that close to another vehicle.
 
Per the owner's manual, the CMBS will give that "BRAKE" flash warning when going around curves (even slight curves) or going over hills/changes in elevation. There's a particular spot on my commute each day where it will consistently give me the "BRAKE" warning, and I think it is because I'm going around a slight curve and the radar sensor sees the car in front (traveling the opposite direction) and "thinks" we're going to crash. Its a minor nuisance but I appreciate having the system there for emergencies.
Your experience also describes my experience. Thanks.
