Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Multiple warning lights for collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, and road departure mitigation illuminate together and prompt a 'see your dealer' message, sometimes at very low mileage.
  • Owners report the lane keeping assist system pulling the steering wheel or vehicle in the wrong direction when drifting toward a lane line, rather than correcting it.
  • During a lane departure or side collision, the body control module, forward collision radar, brake assist, and stability assist reportedly failed to activate, and airbags did not deploy.
  • Lane keeping assist reportedly triggers unexpected hard braking alerts ('BRAKE!!') when passing through intersections.
  • Warning lights and ADAS features reportedly cycle on and off every few hours, sometimes accompanied by a loss of power while driving.
