Front Collision Warning/Braking Failure

I have noticed my 2021 GCL V6 Limited has never warned, or braked on possible front collision warning. I'd like to say I am that great of a driver, but I am not. :) I have been testing the system, have adjusted from near, medium, far, and really driven fast towards the car in front of me to test. Yes a little dangerous and irritating, but the system will not activate.
Anyone else seen positive or negative results with their GCL anti collision system?
The auto distancing cruise control works great. I think the systems use same components so must be a computer issue.......

I have a '21 Overland and can say with a 100% confidence that the front collision is working as planned. I've had 2 different instance where it has either alerted me to brake or it braked on its own. I have my setting set at "far", to ensure that it provides enough reaction time. The back collision is also working as it breaks when I get too close to the trees when getting out of my garage.

Thanks. I didn't think about the rear collision avoidance, mine is not working as well as the front not working. I also have mine set to "far". I'll have to take it in to see what's going on.

There’s other threads on this. Though I have gotten one warning, I was basically on top of the car in front of me while passing it. I also have mine set to “far” and attempt to trigger a warning at the very least with nothing. I can’t even imagine what the near setting would be useful for….

I bought mine on December 23, 2021 and the system has never worked. Several weeks ago I was on the freeway driving at 80 mph and the guy in front of me did a hard brake. The system never activated so no warning and no automatic braking. If I wasn't paying attention to the road, I would have crashed into the guy in front of me. I took the car into the dealership twice and the service advisor and I did a drive along and he agreed the system did not work. They kept the car for about 3 days and when I picked it up I was told they ran diagnostics and checked with Jeep engineering and the system was working "as designed". Funny because the system has never worked. I finally gave up.
