My rear parking sensors have taken to beeping as soon as I go into reverse when there is absolutely nothing behind me! They will continue to beep on and off for a few minutes and then stop. The problem is that it is only doing it intermittently, I could go into reverse a few times and it will do it and then a few hours later it won't! I've checked that there's no dirt / obstruction on the sensors, I haven't been hit, seems to be a fault in the sensors.

Has anyone else been having this problem? “You feel uneasy, as the mad scientist locks the door behind you & dissolves the key in a vat of Acid”

Sorry if this sounds stupid but when you angaged reverse gear was something in front of you? When you engage reverse the front sensors (if fitted) also engage and will beep. I get it everytime I reverse off my driveway, nothing behind me but the missus's car in front sets them off. Interestingly beeps from the front speakers are for the front sensor and rear speaker beeps are for the rear speakers.  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

ot stupid at all. Well noted
The sensors are activated even if people are passin in front or near the car so if the car is parked in a croved areea sensors will get off. THe obstacle can even be angled and sensors will sound.
Anyway if it's a sensor fault make a termin with the dealrs and the fault will surely not replicate
Sometimes these things cure themselves. Other times they get worse so even the dealer will notice but it's definately better to have the sensors going off all the time than having them mute. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER
