Question Front passenger side parking sensor problems

has anyone else experienced the front passenger side parking sensor going off (sound as well as visually) when there is nothing near the front car? Sensor lights come on either yellow or orange (never red) on the infotainment screen as well as the one directly behind the wheel. Does not happen all the time but has happened more often when car in left in the sun on hot days. Coincidence perhaps related to hot summer? Dealer said they have seen it but have not come up with a fix, even when sensors were all replaced.

Could be a wire, causing resistance or something making the computer thinking the sensor is going off

Mine was a solid failure. They replaced the sensor and that fixed it.

My front sensor went off about a month ago, several times. I did manage to take a picture of the problem.
I turned the car off and back on again, and the problem has not returned.

Check for water on your sensors. When it is really wet I get this kind of an error if a water drop is distorting the lens. Really annoying at a stoplight.

It was raining today and both my sensors gave false readings. .

I love when parking sensors continue to chime after I've already placed the car into park.

My dealer reset the parking sensor system during my last visit. So now I am waiting on a replacement main harness for the sensors to come in. Hopefully that solves it.
