In owners' own words
The pre-collision warning and the lane keep assist are disabled while driving frequently. It does this on its own. I have had into the shop one other time for the same thing. Itâs happening more frequently now. Current mileage is 25,153. Also the personal settings on the dashboard reset on its own every five or so key cycles. Obviously thereâs some kind of software problem. Forward collision avoidance
The forward collision light comes on and stays on for no reason while driving. The only way to reset is to cycle the key. Took it to the dealership with the light on and they said no problem found. Forward collision avoidance
