Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Forward collision warning triggers a sudden hard 'phantom' brake with a clear road ahead, often on highways with cruise control engaged.
- The false braking event is frequently paired with a dashboard 'BRAKE' warning and a feeling that the vehicle is momentarily out of control.
- Some owners report the system activates unexpectedly while going around curves or exit ramps with no vehicle in front of them.
- In at least one case the forward collision sensor failed to brake when needed, resulting in a crash into another vehicle.
- A few complaints describe repeated phantom braking events at both low city speeds and higher highway speeds during the same ownership period.
