criticalFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE
Filed: Jul 2024

Your car's advanced safety features—including forward collision warning and lane departure warning—are shutting down unexpectedly, and your emergency brake warning light is also turning on. The problem temporarily clears but returns within a day, making these safety systems unreliable. Subaru service hasn't identified the cause yet. Fixing this will likely require diagnostic scanning to find the electrical or software issue causing the safety system failures.

highFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Jan 2026

Your forward collision avoidance system unexpectedly activated while you were driving 35 mph into sunlight, causing your brakes to engage hard even though there was nothing in front of you. This sudden braking caused you to jerk forward toward the steering wheel. The system may have been triggered by glare from the sun affecting the sensors' ability to accurately detect obstacles.
