Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the reverse automatic braking or forward collision system engaging with no obstacle present, sometimes causing sudden stops on roads or highways.
  • Some describe phantom braking while backing out of a driveway or parking lot, with the system slamming on the brakes hard enough to block traffic.
  • Others say the EyeSight system disables itself mid-drive, disabling cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision braking at the same time.
  • A few report the front collision warning failing to activate or brake when approaching a vehicle at speed, offering no alert at all.
  • Some note a film or tint-like haze appears over part of the windshield at night that they believe interferes with the camera, without dealers being able to confirm a fix.
