What a great safety feature! It keeps you from backing over wingnuts and inattentive children, and assists you in snugging the big, fat truck into tight parking spaces. If you live in the frigid north it also has bonus features. It will relentlessly warn you about ice and slush frozen to your bumper while cruising down the interstate. Not to mention that it's also relentless in pointing out that your garage is much smaller than you'd like. Yes, it does have STFU buttons, but they're not necessarily that easy to reach while driving. I envy you GM guys for that vibrate instead of beep feature. I've had to chip ice, melt ice, and repeatedly clean those danged things nearly a dozen times already just this month!!

It's really annoying at a drive thru when both front and rear sensors are picking up the building wall and vehicles in back of you. Turn it off almost every time. Mind has trouble seeing poles.

I don't know if I love them. They are a great aid but, I still spin my head 360 degrees when backing. Same as the back up camera, it's a nice aid. I don't rely on them for backing.

As I have a cap making for poor rear vision, the elephant-ear side mirrors, rear-view camera and rear sensors are very helpful. An earlier SUV didn't have them, and I accidentally clipped a low sport car cause of poor visibility. Never hit any kids though ... thankfully.It is nice to be able to easily turn it off when not needed though. Like when hitching up. It's easy enough to do so in my F150. Think my rear only sensors are only active in reverse. When looking for the next truck, I'm always checking for the little buttons on the rear bumper.

Jeez just turn them off! They all have a switch.

Anybody else love those park sensors on their vehicles?!
