Consumer Description

FREQUENTLY A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON STATING THAT THE COLLISION WARNING CENSOR IS BLOCKED. AS A RESULT THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK AND THE COLLISION WARNING FEATURE IS ALSO NOT WORKING. BY PRESSING AN 'OK' BUTTON THE WARNING LIGHT GOES AWAY AND THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO WORK PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP BUT NOT ALL BUMPS. THE DEALER HAS QUOTED ME A PRICE OF NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE THE WARNING CENSOR, AND BRACKET. HOWEVER, I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE CENSOR IS DEFECTIVE SINCE IT OFTEN WORKS PROPERLY.
