    Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

    Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023.

  4. SeatsOct 18, 2017

Representative owner complaints: forward collision avoidance

76 reports, newest first. Show all

  1. Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 29, 2017

    WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH SNOW AND ICE THE FRONT GRILL OF THE VEHICLE BECAME COVERED WITH A COATING OF ICE. THIS BLOCKED THE FRONT RADAR DEVICE FROM WORKING. THEREFORE SHUTTING DOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM WHICH BRAKES THE VEHICLE WHEN GETTING TO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE IN FRONT. THIS CONDITION PERSISTED EVEN AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE STORM BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT FREEZING OR BELOW. THIS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. THE ICE ON THE GRILL ONLY MELTED AFTER STOPPING, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM RETURN TO NORMAL. WOULD THIS ICE BUILD-UP ON THE FRONT GRILL ALSO CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND THE COOLING SYSTEM?
