Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Automatic emergency braking activates on its own during normal driving, sometimes slamming the car to a stop in traffic or into a parked object with no obstacle present.
- Forward collision warning and pre-collision braking systems disable themselves after the windshield-mounted camera or radar overheats in hot weather or direct sun, blocking the instrument cluster with warning messages.
- Front camera or forward radar goes offline, disabling cruise control and lane departure/assist until the vehicle cools down, sometimes needing cold air blown on the windshield to reset.
- Drivers report the forward collision system failing to detect a stopped vehicle ahead and not braking at all, leading to a rear-end crash.
- Crash sensors or brake systems trigger warning lights (secondary collision brake malfunction, pre-collision brake malfunction) alongside unrelated engine or electrical faults.
