| Description of the problem | My truck's collision avoidance / adaptive cruise control has false sensing when passing large heavy duty trucks. At 50-75mph with someone right behind you, this can be very dangerous. If a heavy duty truck is one or two lanes to your right and you are passing them with no one in front of you, the radar sensor senses incorrectly and hits the brakes, flashes the red collision avoidance light and the tone goes off. I've had this happen at least 30 times since i bought the truck brand new.. 4-5 times i've almost been rear ended. It doesn't do it with all semi's, so it's very unexpected. I've taken it to multiple ford dealers, and they've attempted repairs at least 5 times now. Problem is still not fixed and it's not safe to drive wondering when it will be applying the brakes out of nowhere for no reason. It's also not safe to let someone else drive who is unaware of the issue. This is similar to the ford recall 15s29 and nhtsa 15v614000, however, my vehicle was manufactured feb 2015. |
