Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Backup camera screens go black or show a distorted image, leaving drivers unable to see while reversing.
  • Forward collision warning sensors fail and trigger false brake alerts with no obstacle present, sometimes while the vehicle is in motion.
  • Automatic emergency braking activates on its own during normal driving, including at highway speed and in rain, with no hazard in the road.
  • Forward-facing camera behind the rearview mirror develops an internal fault that knocks out the vehicle's communication bus, killing interior lights, accessories, and the ability to start the car.
  • Side mirrors tilt down unexpectedly, blocking the driver's view when backing up.
  • Vehicle unexpectedly lurches or drives forward after being placed in park with the engine running, in one case striking another vehicle.
