2-Door JL Rubicon ordered 10/28/18, built 12/19/18, delivered 1/14/19
Roof on or topless? I think that when my roof is open (I have sky power top), it happens more frequently and without any reasons - similar to your video.
Roof was on, windows up. Dash cam is mounted just to the passenger side of the forward collision camera (so what you see is pretty much exactly what I'd expect the the Jeep to see).

@Dingus do the brakes ever kick in too when you have these false alarms? I think you should get it checked, I keep mine set to far and I do not get false alarms like that.
Nope - never brakes, just warns. I haven't dabbled with the settings at all so it very well could be error on my part. I actually didn't know there was a setting for that - so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I've never laid blame - it's an annoyance, but not a major one. When I get a chance, I'll try and tweak the settings. I don't get the chance to drive it often (maybe 300 miles / month), so I never bothered to dig too deeply into the issue.

Does anyone know if the cost of OEM repair of a cracked windshield with the ACC/FCW is more than a regular windshield?
I have the ACC/FCW, and need a new windshield, Safelite quoted me $980.00 installed. No non-OEM option, and they're backordered so far that they can't tell me when they're in. Also, there is no gorilla glass version for the ACC windshield.

YMMV.

That is more than twice the cost of replacing my JKU windshield when it was cracked. Any explanation from them for the high cost?

Has anyone experience the Forward collision warning going off without having anything in front of you? I fell mine sometimes goes a crazy at times.
Never had an issue. The auto braking came on once when I was too close to a car that was already halfway turning into it driveway. I knew I am safe not stepping on the brake but the car thought otherwise. Now I know my JL's auto braking system is working!

It's a small import that is my daily driver
7,000 miles. I think it inadvertently went off once. And then there was that one time that saved a crumpled front end. When can we get lane keep assist?

For those of you with the weird "false-positives"... how's your ACC? Does it have the same weird issues like it'll slow you down for no reason? I'm kinda thinking it's an alignment issue, which would effect the ACC as well.

Only thing I've experienced so far is when I crowd someone in front of me turning. As soon as I know I can get by them I accelerate, but FCW apparently is a little more cautious than I am and it beeps at me (I have it set to highest sensitivity).
Mine has gone off multiple times when the car in front of me has made its turn and I get in the gas. It is set to the closest. I just stand on the gas until I get to go. It must think I tailgate, but the car has cleared the intersection. A little to sensitive, but I keep it on for that one time it might be necessary. It doesn’t rain much here in Left Angeles.

Mine does seem to go off and beep and brake at times for reasons I cannot explain. HOWEVER, one day I turned my head to watch a car moving into my lane, and the brakes slammed on and completely prevented me from rear ending a car that suddenly decided to brake suddenly and turn left. I would have hit that car in any other vehicle I ever owned. This thing saved me. SO, I have nothing to complain about.

@JeepCares Why does this happen? It's 2019; pre-crash safety systems are quite reliable in other vehicles. Does Jeep plan any software upgrade or solutions?

As our team is not technically trained, we are unable to make any speculations regarding software updates. Please know, if you continue experiencing concern we recommend visiting your dealership for further insight.

Sorry but these threads get way under my skin... If you need a vehicle that has to tell you what's in front of you, help you park, or apply the brakes for you; then you probably do not belong behind the wheel. People that tout this technology are like Prius owners, I just want to slap the piss out of them. Learn to drive and take a defensive driver's course. You will save money on your car insurance too.

Sorry for the rant but OMG I hate this drive-for-me technology crap!
I found the driver that thinks hes better than 90% of other drivers. :)
