Proximity Alarms When Turning Right

[byronandalex]

My proximity alarms are alarming when turning right when nothing is there. Any ideas?

Look at the side parking sensor in the front bumper and see if the paint is bubbling.

I had some phantom alerts and service fixed it. they said there was some end caps that were not installed during production. My alerts was whenever it rained.

Living in New England, we have many main roads that are barely wide enough for two lanes of moving traffic PLUS the parked cars. On these road, when there is a parked car at a bend, I get the red "EMERGENCY BRAKE!" warning light that I am about to collide. The same thing happens in the Tesla, too.

Welcome to driving in New England.

I just learned to slow it down when approaching these bends.

Is the camera showing the lane next to you on the driver dash screen? Also, I had put my beach pass on my bumper and had to move it when I discovered it was causing sensor issues.

I had a very similar issue for a while after first buying my 2023 R1T and finally after showing a mobile tech (thus proving I wasn't crazy) he convinced his hierarchy that we should just replace the sensors. When he did, he noticed one sensor that was not the same as the others - it was a Ford sensor... seems crazy but it didn't surprise him. Either way, I haven't had a single issue since

Our Gen2 R1T hits the breaks randomly and scares the crap out of us. On Autonomy dashboard view, we sometimes see a vehicle pop out of no where for a second and then disappear. Other than increasing our heart rate and shortening our lifespan, we're also concerned that it'll happen and someone will rear end us. This happens in adaptive cruise control (we aren't subscribed to A+).

I've been trying to collect data points for support, but is this likely related to a sensor that needs to be replaced or recalibrated instead?

Nope. Happens all the time in Gen 1 and 2. Best path to fix is the Comma 3x/4.

I got these recently, but the truck has been acting up in many different ways. It will be in SC tomorrow

I went back and found a pic I took of the sensors that were replaced. The one on the left has the Ford logo but it's obscured a little by the glare in the pic... The one on the right clearly shows Rivian.

@byronandalex You have running boards on the truck?

Mine detects the running boards all the time. Take the boards off and the "fantom alerts" go away. I've just added it to the list of "dumb shit my over complicated truck does" and move on with life.

This is the same thing that happened to me. My right rear sensor was always pinging when nothing was there. I took it to the service center. Same issue. One of the end caps was missing or installed incorrectly. Took less than an hour to fix. Now all my sensors seem to be working correctly.

Have the same issue, but inconveniently, when I take it to the service center, the issue cannot be replicated… I’m hoping it gets consistently bad enough soon so service can replicate. Oh well

Take a video or pictures when it is pinging but no vehicle is showing on the screen.
