How sensitive is your accident avoidance/adaptive cruz?

My light has been on for a few days...
Since I have owned the truck anything other than bone dry pavement roads, on a sunny day seems to set it off. It's more temperamental than a high school girl that got dumped on prom night.
My bumper to bumper runs out in a couple of weeks so if there's an issue I need to take care of it ASAP.

 

Take it in

 

what light is on?

mine has popped up with big red letters saying BREAK only 3 times since ive had the truck. only once was it almost a close call, others were me driving aggressive when people are merging.

 

The yellow light that shows a "crash" radar unavailable with adaptive cruise.

 

Take it in

 

Mine works fine, though each time I use the cruise I need to turn down the sensitivity which is a very minor nuisance, as it only takes a second to click to the button twice.

 

Taking it in tomorrow...hopefully, the light stays on.

 

I've only seen the yellow light a few times, maybe 4 times in 10,000 mi, and in each instance there was snow or mud obstructing it. Mine has worked pretty much flawlessly. Looks like you have a 3" lift though so I wonder if that isn't partially the culprit.

 

That has crossed my mind. As in, possibly the eye isn't OEM aligned as it's higher than factor setting. I will say this is an intermittent issue that has gotten worse this fall season. But with over 15k this year the issue hasn't been a real issue.
Has anyone else with a lift encountered the same issue??

 

Plus you got a bull bar thing on your bumper, and lights set up on top of the bumper, right? You have a pic I seen in the SR thread. None of that can be good for the sensor. I have a 1" lift with 32s and like I said mine is pretty much flawless unless something environmental is obstructing the sensor.

 

just odd that it’s getting worse…

 

And an aftermarket grill. I'd expect a lack of warranty help, unless you've already have an established relationship with a mod-friendly dealer.

 

Grill has a factory style fitment for the sensor. Again, 15k miles and not really an issue…but seems to be getting worse.

 

your first post says that since day one it has been sensitive. You cannot say “no issue” and “since day one it’s been sensitive” at the same time.

it sounds like you DO have issue with it. It may have been very very marginal but not something shifted, or the cover has a chip, or a light moved a mm, or the sun spots are more active but “no issue for 15,000 miles” isn’t true from everything you have said

 

Put some washers on the top screw. Drive around. Light comes on, add a washer. Repeat until light goes away.
I have like 5 washers on mine. Works perfect.

 

Fair enough, I should have said it’s more sensitive. But from day one anything other than perfect driving conditions made it fault out.

 

yeah, that’s an issue

you have been having issue since day one so see above comments

 

Excellent, I’ll try this for sure!

 

Yeah, when I was considering getting a bull bar (Didn't) almost every one I looked at had some sort of 'Warning: May interfere with radar doohickey thing in front' ...
