Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Automatic emergency braking activates on its own with no vehicle or obstacle present, sometimes at highway speed.
  • Forward collision mitigation, lane keeping assist, and automatic braking fail to engage during an actual road departure or crash.
  • Adaptive cruise control shuts off along with lane keeping, road departure mitigation, and low-speed parking systems, with a dashboard message to see a dealer.
  • Dashboard warnings for lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and collision mitigation braking appear repeatedly at startup, in one case tied to a suggested body control module replacement.
  • Steering wheel feels like it locks or sticks while adaptive cruise control is set, sometimes paired with an unexplained brake alert.
