Forward Collision Avoidance System Sensitivity

The 'Distracted Driver' feature and adaptive cruise control are frequently cited as overly sensitive, leading to unintended braking and difficulty in disabling the system. This can cause unexpected deceleration and potential rear-end collisions. Estimated repair cost: $100 - $500.

Steering System Vibrations

Reports of vibrations and unexpected jerking in the steering system can impact driver control and comfort. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1,500.
