Driver assistance
Owners report sudden, unexplained automatic braking and warning screens saying driver-assist and safety systems are disabled. Several say dealers could not find a cause, and some cars sat at the dealer awaiting parts or answers.
- Warning signs:
- Owners report sudden hard braking at highway speed, in turns and in parking spots, sometimes with a warning light, plus dashboards lighting up with SRS, parking assist and driver-assist malfunction messages.
- What shops did:
- Dealers often could not find or duplicate the problem; one owner says braking was disabled, one was told a part was on back order, and one recharged the battery to clear the error.
“the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes without any apparent obstacle ahead. A warning message “LOOK AHEAD” appeared on the dashboard at the same time.”
“Upon startup, every warning light lit up on the car and messages popped that all of the safety systems were disabled on the car”
