'16 Civic Touring
I was in a car accident a few months ago that took out the front driver-side of my car. The collision was relatively low speed so I was able to get the car repaired. I chose a dealer-backed auto repair shop as I wanted to make sure the car tech was correctly installed. However, I'm still having an issue with the ACC radar sensor.
To put it simply, the radar is 'off'. It's like it's seeing the car in the next lane over (passenger). It constantly has issues keeping a 'lock' on cars. There have been multiple times where, in a straight line, the sensor doesn't detect the car in front of me until I'm well within the radar and braking range, when it then brakes hard and backs off until it 'loses' the car again and repeats. I've even had it diligently follow cars in the passenger lane as the car in front of me pulls away.
I took the car back to the shop and told them the issue. They had a dealer tech check the calibration and do a short test drive. They said there is no issue and nothing to re-calibrate. But the radar is still off; it's like it needs to be adjusted just slightly to the left so it can actually hold MY lane. It's most noticeable during highway driving and I'm factoring in things like curves and inclement weather; this happens on dry, clear days on straight roads.
I don't know what to do to fix this. I wish I could putz around with it myself to fix it but I don't know if that's a good idea. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
