Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the steering wheel becoming stiff or locked, forcing the car to drift out of its lane before the driver can regain control.
  • Several drivers describe the lane keep assist system actively steering the car toward a curve wall or onramp barrier instead of following the lane.
  • Some report a tug-of-war feeling in the steering above 30-35 MPH, with the wheel sticking in one direction and requiring constant over-correction.
  • Others describe lane keeping assist pulling the car toward turning lanes or construction lane markings, requiring a firm tug to stay in the correct lane.
  • A few owners report the front camera failing, which disables lane departure warning along with automatic emergency braking.
  • Some describe brakes engaging on their own, which shuts off lane departure and other safety features while the car is in motion.
