Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Adaptive cruise control unexpectedly accelerates hard when the vehicle ahead changes lanes or moves out of the way, even with a stopped vehicle still visible further ahead.
- Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking fail to detect a vehicle in the driving lane, resulting in a crash without any warning or braking intervention.
- Pressing the '+' speed control button on adaptive cruise control causes the set speed to jump far beyond the intended increase, in one case rising to 100 mph.
- Side assist and rear traffic alert sensors stop working and display an error message, with dealers attributing it to dirt rather than a hardware or software fault.
- ADAS-related error messages appear en masse while driving at night, tracing back to a temporary camera module failure that resolved itself after the car sat overnight.
