some times on REALLY cold days mine would actup, and squeel like a banshee second i went into reverse as if i was basicly parked right on top of something...

but other then those few cold days its been perfect..

have u tried pulling the sensor plugs off and cleaning the contacts and replugging it back together ??? could be just dirty contacts..

Have you tried simply wiping them off? I have noticed that when I drive a dirt road, the dust that accumulates on the sensor is enough to make them act up.
