Consumer Description
Accident avoidance features I've purchased in the car many times does not work. 1. Proximity sensor does not alert when needed Twice in the last month, vehicle approaching from the right (passenger side) darted forward without any warning. Once in the parking lot and another car also approached from a stopped light (which he broken) causing me to swerve and hit the brake hard on an intersection. 2. Blind spot light on both the driver and passenger mirror only work about 80% or 4/5 times. You can track these intentionally when passing another car, or be passed by a car to the right or left. 3. Proximity alert sounds when at a standstill on a traffic light. Even slightest movement on the brake pedal will sometimes trigger this false positive. I bought the car because of these key safety features and no longer believe these can be relied upon. Have many video and photos to track these events as I try and document for dealership. After advising the dealership, they cannot fix these problems and claim they cannot reproduce these issues. Even after sending them video and photos of these events.
