Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Automatic emergency braking activates on its own at highway speeds with no obstacle present, sometimes causing near rear-end collisions.
- Forward collision system swerves and brakes suddenly while driving between other vehicles on the highway.
- Rear collision sensor fails to detect nearby objects, leading to low-speed backing collisions.
- Rearview camera image fails to display, linked to a recall for a damaged printed circuit board on Alabama-built units.
