Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Forward Collision Avoidance system applies the brakes abruptly with no vehicle or pedestrian in front, sometimes while turning or merging.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control intermittently activates the brakes on its own, in one case nearly causing a crash during a turn.
  • Automatic emergency braking triggers at highway speed (45-55 mph) when the vehicle ahead is far away or matched in speed, sometimes causing following drivers to brake hard to avoid a rear-end hit.
  • System engages abruptly on snow-covered roads, putting the truck into an uncontrolled slide.
  • Forward collision warning light stays illuminated for no apparent reason and can only be cleared by cycling the key; dealers report finding no fault.
  • Owners state the false-braking issue persists even after a dealer visit intended to address it.
