In owners' own words
Every time there is morning condensation/dew or rain, my front collision warning does not work. A notification pops up, the symbol comes onto the dash and it takes a good 3-5 minutes depending on the severity of the weather to have the symbol and notification go away and work. Also, 98% of the time when my car was preset to turn on, the emergency brake automatically engages every time I get into the drivers seat. Forward collision avoidance
The forward emergency braking system on this vehicle is a hazard not a safety feature. I have almost been rear ended 3 times because of it and have had my neck and back hurt from the quick sudden stop! I was not even at risk of getting into an accident! This feature needs to be permanently disabled! I still owe 30 payments on this car but will be getting rid of it if i can't disable this permanently. Forward collision avoidance
The car in front of me, 8 to 10 feet ahead, slow down and turn on their blinker. My car slammed so hard on its break. It threw me and my dog forward. It never gave us a warning until it slammed. There was plenty of time for me to slow down, but also the car was partially already in the turn lane. There is then 223 seconds where my car will not move forward. I am a sitting duck to cars coming behind me. Forward collision avoidance
