Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) engages unexpectedly at low speed and fails to stop for real obstacles, leading to low-speed collisions with trees, buildings, and other objects.
  • Backup camera and parking sensors display only ground or fail to trigger alerts, contributing to crashes into stationary objects behind or in front of the vehicle.
  • CMBS suddenly applies full brakes while driving at highway speed with no vehicle or obstacle nearby, startling occupants.
  • Adaptive cruise control repeatedly disengages after extended use, with the dashboard incorrectly instructing drivers to clean the front emblem.
  • Multiple safety systems, including braking, blind spot detection, and cruise control, cycle through warning messages simultaneously, suggesting a shared electrical fault.
  • Automatic braking activates on curves or near roadside objects, and once braked on train tracks with no obstruction present.
