Alright, 14K miles on my 2019 FE (Manual Trans). My Forte has forward warning and collision avoidance braking system and lane warning / keep assistance - I think they all come standard with this.
A - This has happened 4 times:
Driving highway speeds (65+ mph), normal flowing traffic, divided 4 lane freeway - the dash lights up with warnings and the display says the system is disabled because the front camera is obscured / blocked. Obviously, the camera is not blocked. This happened 2x dry conditions, 1x snow and 1x rain. The system re-sets withing 5-10 miles or with a cycle of the ignition switch (I didn't cycle the switch while driving...ha).
B - This has happened 2 times:
City driving, traffic, but flowing. When an oncoming car approaches (no median) the collision system activates, warns me, then locks up the brakes. Almost got rear-ended both times. NO warning lights on the dash - the system thinks it is acting normally. This is a 4 lane city road, no center median, both me and the on-coming car on in our respective "fast lanes" passing by each other - make sense?
B is quite a safety issue - I have not brought it into the dealer yet. These occurances have happened with the OEM tires, and the snow tires - no difference.
Have you notice anything strange with yours?
Here is a pic, because pictures.
