Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

Rear camera and reverse lighting fail to illuminate the area behind the vehicle at night, making it hard to see children or objects while backing up.
Adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking sometimes trigger phantom braking on the highway with no hazard present, leading to being rear-ended.
Owners report sudden unintended acceleration while stopped or maneuvering at low speed, with the brake pedal pressed and the automatic emergency braking system failing to intervene, resulting in collisions with vehicles, walls, or fixed objects.
Forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance have activated together unexpectedly during normal driving, causing the vehicle to make contact with another vehicle.
In one case the front collision warning and emergency braking did not activate at all when the driver was slowing to park, and the car instead lurched forward into a wall.
