Tech Safety Malfunctions

Hi,

I've had a series of safety malfunctions with the software and I'm wondering if they're all connected or several different issues. I've only had the car for about 50 days, but here's what has happened so far:


In reverse, my driver's side sensor goes off when there's nothing around.
When I get in I'll get a notice that the emergency call feature is not operational.
This week my fasten seatbelt sensor was going off unless I fastened the passenger belt with nothing in the seat.

Thoughts?

You are still under warranty so I would let them go on a fixing regimen.

The parking sensors could be a cleaning issue so I would wash the car (at least the sensors) and see if that changes anything.

Yeh don't suffer this and get the dealer to sort out as a warranty job.

You should definitely do a software update at the dealer! That will probably solve some or maybe all software related bugs.

Passenger seatbelt is a known problem. Need to fasten wires under passenger seat better.
