Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Automatic emergency braking activates unexpectedly at low or highway speeds with no obstacle nearby, sometimes triggering ABS, traction control, and secondary collision brake warnings.
  • Some owners report the pre-collision system engaged but the physical brakes did not slow the car when the pedal was pushed to the floor, contributing to a crash.
  • Rear camera display shows an 'RCD off' or 'RCD unavailable' message and loses the yellow guide grid lines and rear cross-traffic alert function.
  • Multiple dashboard warning lights (ABS, check engine, LDA malfunction, steering power low) illuminate together, sometimes accompanied by the car losing power or stalling at speed.
  • Lane departure and secondary brake collision systems have activated on their own while driving in traffic, in one case with a child passenger in the vehicle.
