Hi everyone,
Recently I got a 2023 RAM 1500 Classic Warlock and it came with a feature called FULL-SPEED FORWARD COLLISION WARNING PLUS. The truck has a camera and it is suppose to monitor the road, alert and even apply the brakes to avoid a front collision.
The thing is this feature doesn't appears to work. In the last four months I can tell I got an audio/dashboard alert only twice, when cars in front of me hit the brakes (normal brake) to turn right into a driving lane. Comparing to a SUV that I had, on the same traffic circumstances, I received way more alerts and it makes me think this forward collision warning is not working as supposed.
I made a few tests in a safe location, with a friend driving in front of me, around 50 km/h , hit the brakes and I on purpose left to brake the truck in the last moments, and the FSFC did nothing. To clarify my foot was not on the pedal brake before I started the braking.
So, someone knows if this is normal?
