Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

Owners report the rearview camera intermittently displays a black screen or shows a "camera temporarily not available" message when the vehicle is put into reverse.
Some drivers describe the Forward Collision Avoidance system triggering phantom braking at highway speeds with no vehicle or object nearby, in one case reported to occur on three separate occasions.
Several owners say the brakes activate abruptly and unexpectedly while driving at various highway speeds, even though no vehicle is detected ahead.
Multiple complaints describe the rear camera flickering or cutting out intermittently, sometimes only partially obstructing the reverse view and sometimes fully.
One owner reported that after a recall-related software update meant to fix the rear camera issue, the same camera unavailability problem returned within about two weeks.
A few owners note the infotainment display resets or needs to be manually reset alongside the camera problems, and the rearview camera has also been reported as distorted or inoperative on several occasions.
