Your rear cross traffic alert system isn't providing adequate warnings when you back out of parking spaces or driveways. You may get no warning at all, or only a faint warning that doesn't grab your attention—creating a safety risk since you could be hit by a passing vehicle while expecting an alert that never comes. The dealer says the system is working as designed, but you feel this safety feature isn't performing its intended function. A software update or sensor recalibration may be needed to improve alert sensitivity and driver notification.

Your backup camera system's warning beep isn't working when you're backing up near other vehicles or objects. You took your car to the dealer, but they couldn't reproduce the problem during testing and computer diagnostics. The fix may involve diagnosing the camera system, audio alert wiring, or software settings to restore the backup warning function.
