Good day everyone!
Having some troubles with the park assist on my car, its getting pretty annoying to say the least. First and foremost, I believe that when you purchase any vehicle, all said standard and add ons should be in constant working order. Heres my story;
Since mid December the park assist and subsequent parking sensors have been on the fritz. I have washed the car to clean out all the crud that could be accumulating in or around the sensors and I still get the fault message. The system will reset when the car is turned off and then restarted, only to fail again after a short while.
I have had the car in for service, they had changed a parking sensor and advised me that was the issue, great! Left the dealership, drove home and experienced no problems. The next day, washed the car, as soon as I left the wash it failed on me again. On a freshly cleaned car?!
Let me tell you that I'm beyond aggravated about this. I don't always use the park assist, only it the spot is pretty tight and the car does a fantastic job. However, as for the proximity sensors, I rely on greatly especially reverse parking on my driveway or turning into a tight parking spot. I am not content in having it work a certain percentage of the time, I paid for it and expect it to work when I need it to.
Has anyone had problems with theirs messing up? To add to this, I've also had a problem with the door handles on the car. One handle had to be replaced due to it not unlocking the car. As you are familiar, keyless entry has a touch based sensor on all the inside part of the door handles. Once again, its an option that I paid for and expect it to always be functional. The handle they replaced has not given me problems since.
One more to add to this, my car has just under 25k. Over the last three months its seen a dealership more than I or any one of you would like to see one. I've had the water pump, thermostat, fan housing and fan all replaced due to malfunctions. Driving to work one day I noticed the temperature getting cool, almost at work an alarm sounded with a warning on the dash telling me to pull over safely due to the engine over heating. Get to work, pop the trunk and noticed that ALL the coolant had drained.
The upsetting part of all this, the park assist is one of the first questions asked about my car when people ride in it for the first time. They most often ask, "Is this that car that parks itself?" to my disappointment I have to answer that it is, but it doesn't work right now! As for the coolant system, I was happy to tell people that it wont require any service or fill up for 130k
Hoping someone will be able to shed some light on this
Thanks!
