Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Forward collision warning or automatic emergency braking activates and brakes hard with no vehicle or hazard close ahead, sometimes causing rear-end collisions from following traffic.
- Automatic braking engages at low speeds in city driving even when the car ahead is several car lengths away and both vehicles are already slowing.
- The driver attention/forward attention camera on the steering column fails to recognize the driver's eyes when sunglasses are worn, disabling cruise control unexpectedly at highway speed.
- Radar-based systems including rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, and exit safety system report being blocked or disabled during rain or wet road conditions.
- Owners report losing confidence in the systems and manually deactivating or adjusting sensitivity settings to reduce false braking events.
