Bci malfunction warning appeared on dashboard and immediately triggered all of the following lights to appear on dashboard: lane assist, rear collision, front collision, abs, lane assist, 4wd. Within 2 days car then started to apply breaks while trying to pull forward to park. Further escalated same week to applying breaks randomly while driving down the road with no obstructions in any lane. This poses a major safety hazard to all occupants of car along with others on the road as it can cause a collision of this car slows suddenly without warning.
Bci (back-up collision intervention) malfunction. It's random when this comes up on the dashboard warning lights. It lights up several other things as well. It doesn't allow you to use the cruise control, or the 4-wheel drive. It disables the abs and traction control. I don't know how this is not a recall, because I see several forums talking about this issue for this vehicle specifically in this year. We took it to the dealership, and they brushed it off, and claimed they didn't know how to fix it. It has caused multiple problems and has put my family at harms risk due to it disabling the safety features.

Several times the engine will not crank and will not start. Can take up to 10 minutes sometimes before vehicle will start, leaving driver stranded. Twice now the bci malfunction (backup collision intervention) error came up on the dash along with other lights immediatly after engine startup. First time at 23,027 miles, and now recently at 32,081 miles. The first time, dealership said they "could not replicate the problem. " this recent time, the dealership said there was a service bulletin to replace a stop lamp switch (ntb20-065). We'll see if the problem is actually fixed. This should really be a recall considering the shear number of similar complaints about this issue. Plus the brake lamps may not work consistently, elevating the risk of a collision if other drivers aren't aware the vehicle is slowing down.
