Same on the E170/190 series. Biggest problem it seems to present is that it is particularly sensitive to windshear, so the windshear detection system is forever alerting the crew to these conditions below 1500' agl. Bit of a nuisance as without it, it is unlikely that most pilots would assess the conditions as windshear, but company SOP requires a go around to be flown.
