Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Lane mitigation steering activates mid-turn and pushes the vehicle to the side, in one case striking a fixed object and damaging the front suspension.
  • Dashboard warning lights appear followed by the system pulling the steering to one side at highway speed, causing loss of control.
  • The system applies hard, unexpected braking during a lane change when the turn signal is not used, even at 65-70 mph.
  • Automatic emergency braking triggers on a straight highway with clearly marked lane lines and no vehicle ahead, surprising following traffic.
  • Lane departure and road departure warnings activate and self-correct the steering when the car is already centered in its lane and no correction is needed.
  • Collision mitigation and road departure systems stop functioning correctly alongside stalling or other drivetrain warning lights.
