Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Backup camera image is blurry or fuzzy, especially in low light or at night, making it hard to judge distance behind the vehicle.
  • Rearview camera lacks a shield or cover, so rain water obscures the lens and blocks the view when reversing in wet weather.
  • Backup warning tone that should sound when approaching an object does not activate, according to owners.
  • Forward collision warning triggers on the highway with no vehicle or object present, causing sudden braking and a loud alert noise.
  • Lane assist and forward collision warning lights come on together, which owners linked to a failed or damaged front camera or sensor.
  • Owners report dealers diagnosing a bad sensor or camera unit as the cause of false forward collision warnings.
