Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking reportedly fail to detect a stopped or slow vehicle ahead, resulting in a crash with no warning or braking intervention.
  • Owners report the vehicle unexpectedly accelerates instead of braking while parking or maneuvering at low speed, leading to collisions with walls, buildings, or other objects.
  • Rear camera and parking sensors are described as failing to alert the driver to low objects behind the vehicle during reverse, causing unnoticed contact.
  • Dashboard and infotainment warnings for the lane safety, forward safety, and blind-spot systems appear repeatedly, and dealers reportedly cannot find a code or fix during inspection.
  • Highway driving assist and lane keep assist reportedly bias the vehicle toward adjacent lanes or yank the steering wheel without warning near ramps or faded lane markings.
  • Display screens are reported to reboot or go blank while driving, disabling safety features and cruise control until the driver pulls over and resets the system.
