Description of the problem | Forward collision avoidance false(unprompted) activation- conditions-4 lane road with center turn lane, weather dry, daylight, traffic moderate. Driving straight at 30 mph steady speed with no cars ahead in close proximity the car detected an obstacle and entered autonomous braking almost to a complete stop. My wife was driving and i scanned all directions for a potential hazard. There were cars in the center turn lane but none entering or exiting from either direction or even making slight steering corrections that the sensors could have interpreted as a impending collision threat. Fortunately no cars were close behind us that could have resulted in a rear end collision. Although this is the first event for our atlas our friends atlas has had multiple similar events that they have tried to recreate the scenario with no success. The dealer was not able to find any faults with their car. We have yet to bring our atlas in for diagnostics. |
