So does FCA still work when a trailer is attached?
Wouldn't mind a Warning but hitting the brakes might not work out well.
My Challenger only hits the brakes when the adaptive cruise is on. If not then it just advises "BRAKE!!!".
If I recall, you have a newer than 2015 SRT, correct?
Wife's new SRT is a '16 model and I thought the same as you.
Owners manual doesn't talk about active braking as part of the FCW and I thought it would only yell at you, but it will do full speed lock up braking from as high as 60 mph I've read. Great feature as long as it doesn't put you through the windshield or cause someone else to rear end you in a false alarm situation.
And when it locked up, it wouldn't go immediately either. Once the car stopped (in like 1/2 second) I hit the gas because I knew traffic was behind us, got a dead pedal. Played with gear shift real quick to neutral and back into Drive, still nothing.
Guessing it took at least 2 seconds before I could go again after stopping. Long enough for guys behind me to stop completely, throw their hands up and flip me off a couple times!
Be hard telling your insurance company how it really was your fault that you stopped erratically for no reason and forced tha car behind you to ram into you! Lol
Just like the lane keeping that won't let you drive on the edge of a lane on I 5 to stay on the smoother concrete...
I'll take a low option Scat Pack without these features, no problem.
