Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Backup camera image freezes or fails to turn off after shifting out of reverse, sometimes tied to a separate back-over prevention recall campaign.
  • Self-parking or ParkSense system activates unexpectedly or fails to warn of nearby objects while reversing, in some cases leading to a crash.
  • Forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control intermittently disable themselves, sometimes displaying an "ACC/FCW unavailable" message that requires a restart to clear.
  • Lane assist and forward collision warning shut off at the same time as other electrical glitches, including power windows moving on their own and full vehicle shutdowns.
  • Owners report losing power steering, traction control, and multiple driver-assist features simultaneously while driving, requiring repeated dealer visits.
  • Rear-view camera fails to display when shifted into reverse, occurring intermittently and not reproducible by dealer technicians.
