I took my foot off the brake (I think) and inched up - Pre sense came on AND the seat belt quickly tightened and tugged me tight into the seat along with front driver seat side cushions quickly squeezed me into the seat also. It felt like the car was preparing for a impact of some sort.

Was there anyone coming up behind you when this happened? Pre-sense rear will pretension the belts (and close windows/sunroof) if it thinks you may be rear-ended.

This car has the worst pre sens its useless and dangerous

I would totally disagree. The pre sense is very useful and in 36000 miles has saved me from an expensive run in several times.

Feature should be standard equipment on all cars.

Pre-Sense is unchecked in my settings every time I start the car. Just bought the car. Maybe previous owner got it disabled? I'm always paying attention when driving anyways so based on the reviews here, I'll probably keep it off...
