Front sensor bent

ztxny · 10-29-2021, 01:20 AM

Randomly got a message saying driver assistance was reduced. Later noticed the front sensor was bent. Car was not hit and there was no damage to the bumper. This is so confusing. Hopefully there's some answers to this

Someone kicked it?

It's actually not. It won't budge. It's just stuck in a slanted position.

Not loose at all. Super weird. Going to take it to the dealer Monday

Must have been some road debris that came up and hit it.

Maybe but it's odd theres no damage to the paint on the sensor or bumper. Most likely hit a bump and the sensor fell out of place.

But it doesn't move on it's own so that's odd. I would take it to the dealer and see what they say

You know what looking at mines it’s slightly bent also. Will mention to them when I take it in for break in service. No warnings tho

I'd bet it was road debris that you may just not have heard. Just unlucky positioning at that particular level to be super susceptible to things smacking into it. My last road trip I found a bug carcass right on the left side of the sensor that looks like it may have been the size of a bird. I hope it wasn't a bird.

Was just driving normally and then got an alert saying the driver assistance was limited. Went out to see if the sensor was being covered but then noticed it slightly bent. Totally weird
