What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the rear-view camera became inoperable with a red or yellow caution sign displayed on the screen. Additionally, the contact stated that while the vehicle was in reverse(R) on several occasions, the electric side mirrors rotated down, and the driver could see objects and…
The system did not provide forward collision warning and did not initiate automatic emergency braking before impact. The collision resulted in minor damage to my vehicle. There were no injuries.
There are several concerns regarding potential failure of vehicle safety systems, including lack of automatic emergency braking activation and no emergency call initiation. The vehicle remains in my possession and has not been repaired.
While the contact's wife was reversing, the rearview camera displayed a distorted or blank image. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The failure mileage was 10,000.
An electronic ticking or clicking sound occurred from the brake-control area and the vehicle experienced a jerking sensation when coming to a stop. This noise originates from under the dashboard near the steering column and suggests a possible malfunction in the braking or electronic control systems.
The system involved appears to be the Forward Collision Warning/Automatic Emergency Braking system and related braking controls. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
