Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Rearview and front cameras reportedly drop out or go blank for a few seconds while backing up or driving, sometimes leading to a collision with an unseen object.
- Owners report the front forward camera overheating in warm weather, which disables pre-collision braking, cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic headlights, and automatic wipers.
- Pre-collision, Road Sign Assist (RSA), and Lane Trace Assist (LTA) malfunction warnings appear on the dash intermittently, sometimes accompanied by screen reboots or failed lane-change attempts.
- Owners report the vehicle failing to detect stationary objects like mailboxes behind it, resulting in low-speed collisions without any warning.
- Some owners describe parts shortages delaying repair of the forward camera system for months.
