Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Rear automatic braking activates suddenly while backing up with no obstacle present, sometimes hard enough that drivers think they were struck from behind.
  • Rearview camera image appears very dark or hard to see when reversing at night, a defect flagged in recall 26V306000.
  • Forward collision warning and lane-departure systems trigger false alerts, including sudden hard braking on the highway when no vehicle is close by.
  • Adaptive driver-assist systems misread pedestrians or lane lines, causing the car to slow or brake near corners and parking spots without cause.
  • Some owners report the backup camera glitching in addition to unexpected braking events.
