Anyone ever see this one? All sensors are spotless yet the warning persists:

Not yet. A few weeks ago I did got a warning to clean backup camera. It is very sensitive so I had to clean it multiple times with a damp soft microfiber towel. Any speck of dirt or dust can triggers it. When I ceramic coated the car a month back I took steps to avoid accidentally apply to lens or parking sensors fearing it may cause issues.

This one appears to be the front right sensor based on the picture it displays on the big screen which you can't see here. I cleaned them all but no luck so bringing it into the dealer next week.

I had that pop up when it rained real bad in Houston one of the many times in the last two months. Didn’t pop up for me anymore. This doesn’t help but to doc experience.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I have a malfunction of some sort. Been coming on now for many days then stays off for a few days, then back on. Nothing on the sensors and clear weather this morning and it popped on again on my drive to work Off to the dealer next week.

So I'm not the only one! This has been happening to me for a year. Last week in NJ it rained for 2 days straight and I couldn't get the warning to go away. On the third day it went away. Dealer said no codes stored- said my battery has probably died and I'm not telling them about the incident lol. Battery never died the car is brand new! Good luck

Yeah mine has now disappeared as well. I have an appointment for next week which I will likely cancel. Mine was misbehaving in rainy weather as well so there must be some connection there.

...and the few times it's happened to me is after washing the car. Even after wiping the sensors down, it resets when it's good and damn well ready to.

Feisty.

Yeah, it is. I had to gently thoroughly wiped it down with a very clean microfiber. Any speck of any foreign object can triggered it seems.

How about when leaves get caught INSIDE the grill (FSport I have) - I don't think there are any sensors inside? They're all outside?

So this was bugging me this weekend when SE TX got some rain, middle right sensor was bugging out, I think it's because there was water trapped behind it, I'd gently press on the sensor and water would come out, I guess causing it to reflect. It's not doing it anymore because there's no rain.

Poured like crazy in North NJ. Not once did I have me usual warning lights on. At first it started every time I got a car wash. It's happens a lot less now. Dealer won't do anything as no codes store in the system. I think it's poor design. I'm glad to hear this is not only me. I was in a front end collision last year, insurance spent $10,000 to fix the car. I thought it was something the body shop never clipped in or left loose.. guess not. I thought for all this money and sensors are not working
