Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Owners report the forward collision avoidance system suddenly activates and slams the brakes with no vehicle or object nearby, sometimes at highway speeds around 40-45 mph.
- Some describe adaptive cruise control failing to respond to brake input, with the engine revving and the vehicle accelerating into the car ahead.
- Several owners report windshields cracking without impact, which they say later triggers false EyeSight forward-warning alerts.
- Multiple complaints describe lane-keeping assist resisting steering input even when the feature is switched off, making it hard to avoid another vehicle.
- A cluster of complaints describes multiple warning lights appearing at once, disabling EyeSight, cruise control, lane departure, and collision warning simultaneously while driving.
