Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Travel Assist or lane-keeping steers the car left into a center divider or across lanes, and owners report the steering wheel feels stuck and hard to override for several seconds.
  • At intersections, the system loses track of lane markings and pulls the vehicle toward incoming traffic, requiring the driver to fight the wheel back on course.
  • Lane assist pulls the vehicle toward the road edge when accelerating uphill, on both freeways and two-lane roads, forcing manual correction.
  • Blind spot and lane assist features stop functioning altogether without warning.
  • Infotainment or center console reboots and screen blackouts coincide with lane assist and other driver-assistance features becoming unavailable mid-drive.
