Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Travel Assist, which controls Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, disables itself and triggers repeated flashing warning lights and loud beeping at engine start, continuing across speeds from 0 to 70 mph.
- Adaptive Cruise Control randomly disengages while driving, in some cases nearly causing a collision with the car ahead or being rear-ended.
- The steering wheel intermittently makes an unexpected turning motion when the travel assist feature becomes inoperable.
- The rearview backup camera intermittently loses image while the vehicle is moving in reverse, cutting off visibility near pedestrians and other vehicles.
- Owners describe the SOS and Travel Assist error chime activating alongside emergency braking system warnings for no clear reason, distracting the driver during trips.
