Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

Owners report the pre-collision automatic braking system fails to activate during real driving situations, including highway merges and low-speed encounters, even with alerts set to high.
Several drivers describe forward collision warnings sounding but the automatic emergency braking never engaging, resulting in crashes in some cases.
Rearview camera problems are reported repeatedly, including cameras that display blank or distorted images or fail outright even after multiple dealer replacements.
Some owners report warning lights and collision-warning alerts triggering intermittently or randomly with no vehicle nearby, sometimes tied to disputed causes like aftermarket accessories.
In at least one case, an owner reported the driver airbag did not deploy during a crash where the advance warning and automatic braking also failed to activate.

A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
Risk: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.
