• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I was just about to ask here if anyone had warnings about the Critical Forward Safety functions being limited or Lane Safety system being disabled due to camera obscured but my husband figured it out before I could even ask him about it. Turns out a high volume bird crap splatter in a very specific place on your windshield will cause havoc in the safety features. I didn't notice it several times when going to the car, neither my daughter or I remembered that camera existed even though we checked all the other cameras and sensors, and that specific spot isn't visible from inside the car due to those little black dots. Let me share my foolishness for your amusement or education, your choice. There were three different warning messages and lights due to bird shit!?!

Well thats really shitty of the bird! :D Better aim than a squad of stormtroopers!
 
This car has the most sensitive sensors of our cars. Just about anything covering the sensor generates some error with this system… frost in the morning, driving down the highway toward a rising sun. Not surprised at all.
