| Description of the problem | I took my 2016 outback in to a dealer primarily because the passenger side blind spot detection was not functioning properly, acknowledging that it did work at times. I took in written documentation in the form of recorded occurrences of it malfunctioning, based on three trips on interstate highways totaling more than 150 miles. The documentation listed the type of highway, speed, miles driven, weather conditions (coulds, sun, rain, etc), vehicle cleanliness and the number of successful detections of other vehicles in the blind spot as well as the number of detections missed. It worked correctly well less than 50% of the time on each of the three trips. Detection on the driver |
