Having read the responses, at least I now know its not just me. But I must say that I have been realy pleased with my previous Skoda purchases. This time however, I am left wondering if I have made a big and expensive mistake. Please do keep us posted. Wouldn't it be great if they did a recall to fix this, clearly common, problem.

I have recently purchased a Mk 4 Skoda superb 4x4 L&K 2025. The auto braking is a real hazard. Like previous posts I have experienced too many unwanted auto braking episodes. I am 70 and the boy racer days have long since gone. There is no rhyme nor reason for these episodes. On two occasions (by far the worst), I have been parking or carrying out very slow speed manoeuvres when the brakes slammed on so hard, I actually thought id hit something. Where infact it was picking up a bollard, which incidentally was in my clear vision. The ferocity of the stop, could easily cause whiplash. I am not exaggerating. I am now having to cancel this function every time I drive, which leaves me being constantly reminded that I have disabled it. BTW I have had 4 predecessory models since 2012. None of these have presented symptoms so fierce.
