Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Lane departure and side detection warnings have recurred after dealer repairs, with modules and sensors replaced more than once.
  • A few owners link the side detection failure to other electrical faults, including battery drain, dashboard warning lights, and blinker or traction control issues.
