Can they fix my Jeep? It slams on the brakes for no reason whatsoever every time I back out of my driveway. That's not helping anybody and only motivates me to disable the system.
For no reason, or for a silly reason? At my old house, my Chrysler was convinced I was going to murder the flowers that were encroaching into the view of the driveway. They were never really in danger though. On that vehicle, automatic braking in reverse was easy to understand, it would put some red overlays over the flowers it was trying to save. (or as aidenn0 points out, the roadway, I had that happen once or twice, too... but not in my regular routes, thankfully)
My driveway is on a slope, and my wife's car thinks that the road itself is an obstruction the car will hit, so beeps the backup warning sound.
Should motivate you to ditch Chrysler. The aesthetic and name of Jeep is the only thing keeping that company afloat.
As a likely tech saavy hacker news follower, why did you get a jeep when it is well known their quality is subpar? Were you really swayed by style?
I’m not very stylish, but I understand that to some people, style is a characteristic of the quality — for example, the highest quality barf-colored wardrobe would still be unpopular, despite the specs. This poster might just place more emphasis on fashion than you and me
Ram 1500’s as well. There is one spot where I park when at a clients that does it every time. It’s startling when it happens. I turn it off when I think of it but often forget to re-enable it.
I wonder if you could make cones that would fit over the ultrasonic sensors and deflect the sound laterally, so as to reduce the chance they would ever get a return…
Jeep's system is absolutely heinous to use with a trailer or in a garage.
