Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

- Backup camera image cuts out or flickers on and off intermittently while reversing, sometimes tied to a frozen or blacked-out infotainment screen.
- Front, rear, and 360-degree camera images become blurry or low-resolution over time, even after the lenses are cleaned.
- Pre-collision warning alerts sound but automatic braking does not engage, leaving the driver to brake manually before a crash.
