On the passenger side of the front bumper the radar or proximity
sensor has decided to go off a lot. It allmost seems like it is
picking up WiFi signals in the downtown and some sort of signals at
traffic lights. This has just started within the last couple of weeks,
and does not happen with any of the other sensor locations. I have had
to turn the volume down. And it makes using the map thingy in town
useless because it blanks out the map when the sensor goes off! Also
it seems like the temp indicator for the outside temp may be running
higher than it has, but this quesiton is not yet decided. The 20,000
mile thing is coming up shortly so I will have it fixed then.

That should be covered under warranty. Take it back in and have them
fix it for FREE. If they can't fix it right away it should be
documented in the records to make free after-warranty repairs easier.

If like anything else, the sensor system is made by Fujitsu-Ten. Not
the top of the line automobile electronics maker.
