Cross Path/Back up senor headache

[Gen3CoupeTX]

My truck had that option, which I didn't necessarily want. It's never worked though, four trips to the dealer later. Error message (says it needs service) on my cluster since the day I brought it home. This thread makes me think I might regret making it work. Ironic that the option I reluctantly took since the truck had everything else I wanted has made me a regular visitor to the dealer. It's punishing me for not wanting it ...

Well end up happening to me today. I went to back into my driveway and BAM! Brake indicator came on the screen and I was at a halt....ON A SECONDARY Highway. No traffic thank god but man it was scary. This could not end well if a car were coming, etc. Guess I'll be shutting this "safety feature" off.

Mine is just back from the dealer after having the usb hub replaced for CarPlay issues and the rear brake assist problem (applying brake for no reason). They told me they replaced a module that controls rear brake assist. Since it doesn’t do it all the time I’m not sure if it corrected the problem (yet) only time will tell. I’ll keep you posted. I’m glad they were proactive in doing it though.

I've yet to have the auto-braking problem, but did manage to get my Blind Spot / Cross Path system functional after its 5th visit to Service this week. Turns out one of the LED brake lights had been swapped (no idea why) for one that didn't have the sensor / module in it. That would explain non-functionality, lack of communications.

What option introduces the brake assist function? Blind spot / cross path or other?

I've had this problem before and it sort of freaked me out where I back up into a parking spot and it's detecting I was going to hit the curb? I assume? It was sort of weird. It activated the auto brake but it also could be the speed that I was entering in. I wasn't going fast but wasn't just crawling a turtle in. I noticed if I slowly crawl in then it's no problem.

Neither. Rear brake assist is an option in the uconnect setting under safety

So, I just experienced the worst Fake BRAKE! so far, while backing into my driveway this afternoon. It stopped me twice.

The curb wasn't the issue.

I just deactivated the braking portion in the settings.

Ah ok thanks!

Mine has auto brakes twice so far. Both times rightfully so

I am sure the engineers design these systems to air on the side of caution. What would happen if someone was backing up and ‘’ya man it stopped when a 7 year old ran behind me ‘’ then hit a toddler. What kind of s*** hitting the fan would that be. I no this doesn’t help the people who’s trucks are wackadodle
