| Description of the problem | Reverse warning sensors that alert you that you are close to an object, sound when they get wet even though no object is nearby. This can be caused by rain, car wash, or simply driving on wet road after a rain. I had one replaced under warranty. Now another is failing and my truck is out of warranty. This can present a major safety issue in that owners would be used to the sensors going off in these conditions that they will dismiss it when possibly a real object, human or animal is present thus causing the "crying wolf" syndrome and possible injury. |
