Front sensor issues

Does anyone else's front sensor randomly shut off with the orange alert on the tachometer lighting on? This happens about 2 times every week/other week. It'll fix itself after a random amount of time in the middle of a drive, whether it's 5 minutes or 2 hours. Cruise doesn't work while the light is on indicating that the front sensors are off.

This would happen to me on a specific onramp near my house sporadically but only for a few months. It's stopped and never happened again so something out in the world must've been sending out signals or something and tripping it up.
So either something's loose or hope it'll stop doing it eventually

Also if you ever had had your bumper repaired or repainted, the extra layers of paint and such will cut down the sensor performance as well.

This is very true for 2016-2018 models. The 2019+ radar sensors were moved to the front logo area.
