Blind Spot Detection problem #1

During lane departure the size of the rear view mirrors do not display a vehicle in an adjacent lane until it’s too late. However, although the lane departure does notify the driver with a flashing light in the mirror the flashing light is easily missed. An audible warning would be more effective when the turn signal is activated. I departed my lane nearly colliding with an unseen vehicle.

Blind Spot Detection problem #2

While driving my car on March 26, 2020, my engine light came on. I took my car to keller's professional auto, who detected that my turbo had a crack all the way across, so I had to replace it. I only had 45,352 miles on my car. According to keller's and my research, the turbo should last for 100,000 to 150,000 miles.
