Beware of your PDC sensors

Title says it all. Pulling into my garage is becoming Russian roulette. I have the auto PDC box checked but it has stopped working for some reason. It comes on if I back out of my garage, but look how close I got to the wall on pulling into my garage..and it never activated!!
Any ideas ???

I think the car should be below certain speed for PDV to be activated. For me, it has to be probably below 10mph. Just taking my foot off the brake is sure not slow enough.

Probably want to take it in and get it checked. Mine has always come on (hopefully I didn't jinx myself) and I will get a solid tone before getting any where near that close to the wall.

Mine is hit or miss. Sometimes it comes on and activates the front cameras. Other times it just beeps. Sometimes. Nothing. I hang a tennis ball on a string, from the ceiling and stop when it touches the windshield. I park behind an antique vehicle so I'm not trusting the PDC and would rather go off a fixed stopping point.

My F15 gave a reliable tone and camera came auto on every time. Frustrating.
