Intermittent Collision Warning

I'm experiencing random collision warning (light and audio signal) in my 2015 GL 350. Happens a couple of times per week. Often there are no other vehicles within sight. Anybody else experience this?

around 43mph ? I know this sounds crazy but our E550 Cab does this only at 43mph, not all the time, but there is 1 spot on 1 road where it's pretty consistent..... Wife almost slapped the service advisor with the condescending attitude he gave.... oy...

Are you traveling under a bridge that has exposed steel girders? That will produce enough bounce back to do a false positive alert.

It's so annoying we drive a different road lol, no overhead bridge there.... it's 2 lanes in each direction, no curb or island...

Gonna go by there again just for giggles ....

Well....

There are other highway devices - like highway/counters - etc that operate on the same freq and will set off the sensors

Yep, on a local back road same spot most times but not every day. I assume alien ships in cloak mode.
