Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Adaptive/radar cruise control slams on the brakes unexpectedly when no vehicle is actually ahead in the driver's lane.
  • The system misreads trucks or cars in adjacent lanes as being directly in front of the vehicle, especially on curves or near medians, triggering sudden hard braking.
  • Owners report the display flashes an 'apply brake now' warning and the car brakes hard even with a clear lane, risking a rear-end collision.
  • The backup camera has shown a frozen or outdated image instead of the live feed, and rear emergency braking failed to activate during a low-speed backing incident.
  • One owner reported that adaptive cruise control caused sudden full-throttle acceleration when trying to reach the set speed, creating a loss-of-control risk.
  • One owner said a prior recall repair (NHTSA Recall #23V-718) for a blacked-out 360-view monitor did not fix the problem and the issue reportedly worsened.
