Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Forward collision mitigation braking system activates with no obstacle present, sometimes at highway speed, causing the car to stop suddenly and get rear-ended.
  • Collision mitigation braking system fails to respond when needed, so the car does not brake in time to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead.
  • Backup camera display turns black, grainy, or shows only grid lines, often starting around 60,000 miles.
  • Multiple driver-assist warnings appear together — collision mitigation, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane keep assist all flag errors at the same time, sometimes with the backup camera failing simultaneously.
  • Phantom braking events occur repeatedly, with the car beeping and appearing to brake for a nonexistent obstacle before returning to normal.
