criticalFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE
Filed: Oct 2025

Your infotainment system, which controls forward collision avoidance and lane departure safety features, has stopped working for the second time since you bought your Atlas in June 2025. The dealer previously repaired it in August but couldn't explain why it failed, and now it's happening again in October. The dealer has told you this is a nationwide issue with no known solution yet, leaving you without these safety features and facing a lengthy repair wait with no clear timeline.

criticalFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Oct 2025

Your car's forward collision avoidance system is unexpectedly triggering while you're driving on the freeway at 70-80 mph, causing sudden hard braking even though nothing is in front of you. The system also sometimes alerts that there's no driver and applies the brakes despite your hands being on the wheel. These unexpected stops create a serious safety risk and happen repeatedly.
