Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Parking sensors fail to alert the driver of nearby obstacles, in one case leading to a collision with a fixed object.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking activates unexpectedly on clear, empty roads with no obstacle present, then releases on its own.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking deploys uncommanded at highway speed on a wet road, causing loss of traction and a crash.
  • Front and rear sensors stop working entirely on a nearly new truck, and dealers report no parts available to fix them.
  • Dash warnings for electronic stability control and 4WD appear together with a message that emergency braking is unavailable.
  • Rear park-sense system shuts off on its own while trailer and blind-spot warning chimes sound repeatedly with nothing attached.
