I'm not sure what you mean by "completely stopped" - stationary? I suppose it's
possible that you actually have a bad US sensor. If you can find someone with a

to the US sensor itself. I have managed to break one, actually (broke a wire in
a beta unit), but that problem was addressed. This does sound similar.
