highFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Dec 2025

Your car's automatic emergency braking system engaged unexpectedly when a plastic trash bag blew in front of your vehicle while driving at 70 mph. This false activation created a safety hazard, as it could have caused a rear-end collision. The system may need recalibration or software updates to better distinguish between actual obstacles and harmless debris.

NHTSA #: 11707619
mediumFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Mar 2026

Your forward collision warning system has activated twice when there were no vehicles or obstacles actually in front of you. This false alarm suggests the collision detection sensors may be malfunctioning or misaligned. The issue could be resolved by having the forward collision sensor system checked, calibrated, or replaced by a dealer.
