Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report BlueCruise's driver-attention camera failing to detect the driver's face at night when wearing eyeglasses, causing the system to disengage lane centering unexpectedly.
  • Some drivers say the forward collision warning and automatic braking did not activate before a rear-end impact, including one case where the truck struck a minivan at about 20 mph.
  • Others describe the front collision warning system failing to alert or brake during unintended acceleration incidents in reverse-to-drive transitions.
  • Several complaints mention ABS, hill start assist, and forward collision warning faults appearing together while driving, sometimes returning after dealer repairs.
  • One owner with 100 miles on the odometer reported the same BlueCruise camera detection failure with eyeglasses at night.
  • A separate owner reported a persistent parking sensor fault at 37,400 miles that remained unresolved through an open Ford case.

This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years.
