Description of the problem | On several occasions the forward collision avoidance system has engaged for no explicable reason. When this occurs the brakes are automatically applied, not jammed on, but it does slow the vehicle down and the red light starts flashing and the warning sensor goes off, etc it can be rather unnerving. The rear view mirrors which face downward when backing to be used in conjunction with the rear view camera don't always return to previous preset position. |
