The FEB system is braking when not necessary, causing potential serious damage/injury. The sensor is also affecting my ICC/cruise control. An orange light comes on while using cruise control and the cruise control stops/fails and will not reengage until I stop the vehicle and turn it off, then on again.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, IN MARCH 2019. IT STARTED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT AND CONTINUES TO HAPPENED. . REPEATEDLY , WHILE CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, A WARNING COMES ON 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION' AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DEACTIVATED.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING (FEB) SYSTEM BECOMES SPONTANEOUSLY DISABLED DURING DRIVING. THIS POSES A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE SYSTEM CAN ONLY BE RESET BY STOPPING THE CAR, TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RE-STARTING THE ENGINE.

CAR HESITATION. I FIND THAT AFTER I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN I PULL OUT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES (STOPPING AGAIN WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC), THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING WHEN I TRY TO MAKE THE TURN. I HAVE TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND PUSH IT AGAIN, USUALLY IN A HURRY SO I DON'T GET HIT BY ONCOMING CARS. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT. PRETTY SCARY WHEN YOU EXPECT THE CAR TO MOVE AND IT DOES NOT. SO IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM BECOMES EVIDENT WHEN I MAKE A SMALL MOVEMENT, STOP AND THEN GO AGAIN.
