Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Dashboard warning lights for Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, ABS, and VSA illuminate together, often described as the panel lighting up all at once.
- Owners report the VSA brake modulator failing, with internal wiring or a circuit board that becomes loose or improperly soldered, disabling ABS and traction control.
- Some drivers say the ABS stops working during braking, producing a softer pedal feel and reduced stopping performance, in one case linked to a reported crash.
- Loss of power steering and reduced engine power have been reported alongside the warning lights, occurring without prior notice while driving.
- Several owners note the failure recurring after the vehicle is restarted, with the warning lights returning and staying on permanently.
