Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Rearview camera image intermittently fails to display when shifting into reverse, sometimes clearing after the vehicle is restarted.
  • Owners report the recall remedy for the rearview camera wiring harness did not fully resolve the display failure.
  • The front-facing camera or wiring harness fails outright, disabling Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Collision Mitigation Braking together.
  • Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking activate on oncoming traffic in the opposite lane, particularly on right-hand curves at 45 to 55 mph.
  • Dash displays intermittent fault messages for ACC, LKAS, Collision Mitigation, and lane departure warning, sometimes traced to sensor communication or battery issues.
  • Automatic braking has engaged for a vehicle detected two lanes over rather than directly ahead.
