2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Collision Avoidance Problems

Your car's automatic braking system engaged suddenly while you were pulling out of a parking lot, even though a pedestrian was 25 feet away, causing you to experience whiplash. The parking assist system also triggers alarms and prevents the car from responding in reverse when other vehicles are nearby. Despite multiple dealer visits and a Toyota field inspector's inspection, the cause was never identified or explained to you, and the problem continues to occur.

Your adaptive cruise control failed to detect a car in front of you during rain, causing the system to maintain its set speed instead of slowing down. This happened multiple times during your trip, requiring you to manually disengage cruise control or brake to avoid a collision. Unlike your previous vehicle, your Corolla didn't display a warning that the system couldn't operate safely in wet conditions—the display showed no vehicle ahead even though one was clearly present. The system worked normally once the rain decreased.

Your Corolla Cross is displaying warning messages that say "System Malfunction - Contact Dealer" and "Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction" while you're driving, even though the messages don't appear when you start the vehicle. Your dealer cleared the error codes, but the messages returned shortly after you drove the car home. This suggests an intermittent problem with your forward collision avoidance system that needs further diagnosis.
