| Description of the problem | The fcw plus system does not work properly or maybe not at all. This is supposedly a warning system with sensitivity settings incorporating break and visual/audible warnings. They are supposed to initiate well in advance of a critical circumstance. Apparently we are not the only ones being affected by this defective system. Chrysler's response is that the system works because diagnostics indicate that it is working and not to physically test the system as you could crash the car. There is no progression of warnings,no advanced pulsing of breaks. Seems to only work as a last minute break default but i am not even sure it does that. |
