criticalFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Sep 2025

Your car's forward collision avoidance system suddenly applied the brakes hard and brought your vehicle to a complete stop while you were driving at 40 mph on a highway bridge in clear daylight conditions with no obstacles present. There was no warning before the braking occurred, giving you little time to react. This unexpected braking could cause another vehicle to hit you from behind.

NHTSA #: 11687511

Your Eyesight forward collision avoidance system is turning off intermittently, and you're seeing a warning message that says the function is disabled along with a white icon with a line through it. The dealer couldn't reproduce the problem during testing, but after documenting multiple occurrences, they told you that Subaru's field engineer was made aware and said there's no fix available. The issue started appearing around 3,000 miles and hasn't been resolved.
