    The uptick in issues can extend beyond the first year. Usually the normal level is reached on the third year.

    Well, unfortunately it looks like 2024 model year has same problem. Got the warning yesterday. Was near the dealer so stopped in. They told me to "wash the car, that should fix it. If not, call us back." Attaching photo of the "dirty car."

    Handwashed this morning. No change...of course. :( malf2.jpg malf.jpg

    This is so annoying. It seems to be a quality-control issue. I would consider this car a lemon and return it and ask for my money back. After paying so much for it with no discounts and rebates and likely markups these days, I wouldn't want to drive a car with sensors not calibrated correctly at the factory.
