Representative owner complaints: back over prevention

2 reports, newest first. Show all

  1. Back over prevention, Apr 23, 2025

    No sound when object is in area of vehicle when backing up.

  2. Back over prevention, Apr 19, 2025

    The vehicle was looked at and was told it didn’t have sensors for the problem, I can’t believe the vehicle didn’t have sensors for that problem when the rest of the vehicle has sensors for everything else. The vehicle should be recalled to have the sensors put on for safety concerns. I have a camera but no warning sound when object is detected.
