Is there any way to turn off or deactivate the alerts for front collision warning? I do have the system turned off for both vehicles and pedestrians so I would've hoped that would've done it, however whenever the windshield is blocked or even when the weather is foggy i still get the windshield blocked error message along with front collision system deactivated. 
 

It would be one thing if it was just once and I could toggle away the alert, however after a few seconds it will come back so it is very annoying/distracting. It seems even minor weather fog causes the system to have issues...

You "should" be able to go settings from the infotainment screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems and turn it off.  

 

If it will let you, it will turn it off and you will have the FCA disabled yellow indicator always on the dash.  If it can't be disabled from the radio, you could pull the fuse but you will get not only the light but also warnings on the dash to service the forward collision. 

 

Also, try running your windshield defroster to see if that helps it.  

 

You can't remove the system however as it will create a further host of problems.

Thanks.  Sounds like I'm out of luck.  I've previously gone into the settings and turned those systems off (and have the yellow indicator on the dash saying they're disabled) but still get the alerts.  I can understand when the windshield is fogged/frosted over, but a significant portion of the mornings around here have foggy weather and every time it triggers the alerts.  I'll try running the window defroster but I guess I'll just have to live with it.

I was recently driving my Hyundai and would have rear-ended  another vehicle if it wasn't for the collision avoidance kicking in.

 

I would never disable this.

It would be interesting to see statistics on the number of rear end collisions before these sytems were the norm and after.  

 

Part of me thinks its made us less alert drivers and too dependant on technology. That said, I'd rather have them, it just seems with all the technology these days, self driving, blind spot alerts, collision alerts, including new AI systems that will actually write emails and papers and do research for us, we are setting our brains up to atrophy early.

 

Of course learning to use technology might be the offsetting benefit? 🤔

My WT does the same thing. I have everything i can shut off shut off. From time to time i get the dash warning then it goes away soon after. Its almost like a glitch, as i know the windshield is clear and its not humid, so shouldnt be any fog on the camera or cameras. Mine so far, only does it on start up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!!

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.
