Driving in las vegas on paradise rd (North), somewhere around E desert inn rd intersection. My speed was about 30-35 mph. There were steel plates on the road. Pre-crash system of my Lexus suddenly activated without any reason (maximum break strenght, seat belts also tightened) and completely stopped the car. It was extremely scarry. I did some research on the internet and it looks similar to a known issue with 2013-2015 Lexus ES/Toyota avalon (resolved by a recall).
