Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the forward-facing camera behind the windshield fails, triggering a U3000 diagnostic code and disabling Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control at the same time.
  • Multiple warning messages for ADAS features appear together on the instrument panel, sometimes with an audible chime for each one, and continue until the engine is shut off.
  • Some owners tried replacing the 12-volt battery to clear the faults, but the lane keeping and collision warnings returned.
  • One owner described the infotainment screen going black along with a loss of camera and sensor function, accompanied by popping sounds from the speakers.
  • In one incident, the steering wheel locked and the airbags deployed while the vehicle was moving, leading to a low-speed collision with a parked car.
