Narrative

Vehicle made left turn with partially obstructed side view and struck a Pedestrian in a crosswalk. Pedestrian impact with center of vehicle (license plate). No Pedestrian Emergency Braking activated. Vehicle brought to the dealer (with LE Reconstruction) - front radar sensor not tracking. Further tests of vehicle with live pedestrians walking in front of vehicle; both from step off curb into bike lane and live pedestrians walking across the front of the vehicle with no alert or apparent tracking. All tests performed above 3mph (5kph) and below 39mph. Test also above 30mph with lane line activation, but did not detect Pedestrian path intrusion. Inside, the AEB for Pedestrian Emergency Braking is ON, with "Warning + Active Braking". See photos. Tested with all three sensitivity settings (Med, Near, Far). Additional: Rear sensors worked while in reverse with a Pedestrian side approach. Bosch CDR/EDR 900 connected, no Pedestrian option illuminated (only Airbag). Further: Tested another Grand Cherokee with similar trim options, on similar tests and it too did not detect or alert to Pedestrian path intrusion.
