    In my 3000 miles on 2018 OR the pre collision system has gone off three times for no apparent reason. It just beeps and says brake, which i instinctively do, then it goes away. The actual brakes have never automatically depressed. Is this common, or should i take it to dealer.

    The whole grill is held on by 2 10mm screws and 2 Plastic clips. You can disconnect the TSS harness and then go from there. Super easy. Might be worth trying that and take it to the dealer after that. Wouldn’t hurt to disconnect the battery while your doing it. Might clear it up.
