BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE. THE SYSTEM HAD FAILED 8 MONTHS AGO AND NEEDED A CORRODED BLIND SPOT SENSOR ($1200) REPLACED. THE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN AFTER 5 MONTHS. I JUST TURNED IT OFF TO AVOID THE CONSTANT WARNING CHIMES. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING SMOKE APPEARED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I STOPPED AND OPENED THE TAILGATE TO CLEAR THE SMOKE. THE INFO CENTER WARNED THAT THE REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM HAD FAILED, AND THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA ALSO NO LONGER WORKED. THE DEALER SAYS BOTH BLIND SPOT SENSORS AND THE REAR WIRE HARNESS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.
