Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Adaptive cruise control applies the brakes abruptly and without warning while passing large vehicles like semi-trucks or trailers, often on the right side.
- Forward collision warning indicator illuminates and the truck brakes on its own at highway speeds, sometimes even when adaptive cruise control is not activated.
- Sudden false braking events recur multiple times for the same owner, occasionally happening while passing under overpasses or beside large vehicles.
- Some owners report dealers could not diagnose the issue or told them the vehicle was not covered under the NHTSA campaign for forward collision avoidance.
- A separate complaint describes the backup camera going blank or showing a distorted image with no warning light illuminated.
