| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When using the adaptive cruise control (acc) and passing alongside a semi-truck in the left lane, the system mistakenly detects something that causes it to slam on the brakes and set off the crash warning system. A couple of seconds later it accelerated back to your original speed setting. Brought the truck to 2 ford dealerships and 1 just set the sensitivity level to low and the other one did an update to the control module. Neither of these has worked and the truck continues to do this. I called the dealership and they said they have no other direction from ford on how to resolve this issue. This has happened over a dozen times since i have owned the vehicle and it is just a matter of time before this will cause a major accident especially when i have vehicles following behind me alongside a semi. |
