| Description of the problem | The autonomous emergency braking (aeb) and forward collision warning (fcw) systems on my vehicle never activate when traffic situations are obvious for the aeb and fcw to activate. Even home-spun system tests don't show the systems to be operational. The local kia dealership and repair center cannot validate the system's integrity because they cannot accomplish definitive tests to verify the system. They say "we don't know." this is a safety issue that must be resolved. This issue is ongoing. |
