Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Forward or reverse automatic emergency braking activates with no vehicle, person, or obstruction present, sometimes bringing the vehicle to an unintended stop while driving at moderate speed.
  • The Front End Collision Warning system disables itself and shows a 'clean windshield' message whenever there is dew, condensation, or light rain, removing collision protection in exactly the wet conditions it is meant for.
  • Backup cameras fail and display a crossed-out camera icon on the dash, with owners reporting dealers citing backordered parts for replacement.
  • Owners describe the left blind-spot monitoring as overly sensitive, triggering alerts without another vehicle present, alongside gauge cluster displays going black while driving.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control combined with one-pedal driving reportedly failed to slow the vehicle quickly enough when traffic ahead slowed abruptly, forcing manual braking to avoid a collision.
