    Forward colision avoidance

    Hi, this thing happened with me and posted all story here: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/could-this-creates-a-recall-for-all-2023-ram-1500-classic-with-fcw.206717/ In short, the FSFCW+ does not see trees, cardboxes or people, it sees vehicles. To activate, your speed compared to the car in...

    2021 Ram forward collision-avoidance assist not working

    Hey, I had the same thing with my truck, and after calibrating the FCW sensor I understood how it works. The full story is here:https://www.ramforum.com/threads/could-this-creates-a-recall-for-all-2023-ram-1500-classic-with-fcw.206717/ FSFCW+ only activates when the sensor reads the difference...

    Full-speed Forward Collision Warning Plus not working?

    So, if you approaching the vehicle in front under certain speed difference and you do not brake, the system will not activate and the collision will happen. To avoid this, I think only the gen 5 with front park sensors and Adaptive Cruise Control can do that.

    Full-speed Forward Collision Warning Plus not working?

    One thing I noticed is this FCW reacts only when the the difference of speed between you and the front vehicle is high enough, so testing is dangerous. Mostly it triggers when the vehicle in front of me brakes to turn right on a driveway.

    Could this creates a recall for all 2023+ RAM 1500 Classic with FCW?

    Hwy everyone, The dealership here in Langley found out the issue. The FCW is working, but the calibration was off. The first two dealerships that I took probably calibrated the camera without accounting for the 1" lift kit what Warlock comes with plus the bigger BF tires. Today it activated, way...

    Hi, does your 2022 Limited have ACC (Active Cruise Control)? And does the 2023 too?

    I have scheduled to bring the truck to the dealership who sold it to me this Tuesday. It is the biggest RAM dealership in BC, so I hope they can figure it out what’s wrong.

    Hi, the model installed on my truck it is a warning with active braking, FSFCW+. As mentioned before, it is not working. How do I know? I've been driving the truck for the last 6 months and since then I had no audio, visual alerts or active braking events. And people slamming the brakes in...

    FORWARD COLISION WARNING SYSTEM NOT WORKING

    That's interesting. Not sure why the specialist at the dealership I told me my truck doesn't have this radar sensor and the other trucks they have had. I can see there are two things in the driver assist module, behind the glass.

    Hi @huntergreen, thank you for the welcome message. Yes, I bought a truck with FCW feature and got one with a FCW that doesn't work. It is an important safety feature for me. I carry my kids around, my wife also drives the truck eventually and any extra safety is welcome. I don't think it was...

    FORWARD COLISION WARNING SYSTEM NOT WORKING

    Hi Jimmy, My previous vehicle had FCW and I know how it operates. Since I got the truck, August 2023, I never got any audio, visual or active braking from FCW, even when the car in front of me slam the brakes and I had to stop a couple inches before its rear bumper. Another time I put a...

    Don't tell. The only advantage of self-driving is to take you back home after a few drinks or for people who doesn't like driving.

    Could this creates a recall for all 2023+ RAM 1500 Classic with FCW?

    Yes @Scottly, it is have been dragging. Just to clarity, the model I have installed it is an active system. As I mention before I (should) have installed the LSU (Full-Speed FWD Collision Warn Plus), which is explained on page 192 of the manual says "FCW with Mitigation provides the driver...

    It came with the trim, no extra cost described, like all weather mats that you can add later. In the vehicle description there is the code LSU (Full-Speed FWD Collision Warn Plus), as well with other codes like ADA (Luxury Group) and DMH (3.92 Rear Axle Ratio).

    Hi @TotallyHucked, thanks, I will get in touch with @RamCares. Yes, it is a big deal because I wanted it. I could have bought a F-150 instead with the same money, which also comes with a similar feature. At first I thought is was only a defective camera, but after all this back and forth to...

    Lol, that's funny but you know the real question here. Selling and charging for an option that in the truth doesn't work is not correct and can't be ignored.

    Hi everyone, I would like to share my findings about why the Forward Collision Warning on my 2023 RAM 1500 Classic never worked. I took her 4 times to dealership, they acknowledge it is not working but the computer says it is, no error codes. To clarity, my pickup came with Full-speed Forward...

    Dealership turned off dashcam before service

    Update: Just called the dealership today and he said he will order a new camera, to replace the current one. I called Chrysler Customer Care last a week ago, they said someone would contact me in next day to talk about this issue and so far no one called. :(

    Yes, I did several tests, even drove over a fridge cardboard box. Not a sound, alert, nothing from FCW.

    What if you put a sticker besides the dashcam with the text "Smile, the front of this vehicle is being recorded!" :think:

    Dealership turned off dashcam before service

    I should work, the 'full speed' in the title is just to identify the level of the FCW, accordingly this article from Stellantis. Forward Collision Warning: Uses radar technology. When the system determines a collision is imminent, it triggers a visual and audio alert to the driver to take...

    Dealership turned off dashcam before service

    I have news about the FCW issue. I took the pickup truck to another dealership and they confirmed the FCW is not working, so they opened a repair order with Chrysler. In two weeks ago I took the 1500 twice to there, which it is in another town, and so far the only they did was try to...
