It happened to me!
I was at highway speed in traffic going approximately 45mph with 2 bars configured for auto follow cruise mode.
The car immidiately launched forward up to 70mph before I could tap the breaks and calm it down again. Within the same trip the car failed to detect a vehicle cutting me off during 30mph traffic in a merge.
After a manual reboot of the radar (we think, but don’t have a real way of confirming this works unless ford can confirm it) by performing the sync reboot button press but instead of on the sync controls of the steering wheel you do it on the cruise side while pressing the follow cruise button.
The cruise ring in front of the driver will disappear completely for about 15-20 seconds indicating no cruise or auto braking is functional during that time.
Haven’t had it since that day after the reboot, but our parking sensors have started acting up now…
I was in a accident in June and I was going thru the back parking lot of a grocery store. I accelerated and went to slow down, the car wouldn’t slow down and I rear ended a SUV hard enough to deploy the front airbags. I checked the forums and online because I couldn’t believe it happened. I had also been having software issues like, my settings menu didn’t work, the key pairing and fordpass didn’t work. Also the car even with the keys in hand wouldn’t open, luckily one of few options that worked was the door keypad. I had taken it twice to ford and now it’s been in the service shop for over a month.
I need to add my car wasnt apart of the 500 recalled and was built in october
