2019 Ford Edge: false forward collision warnings

Filed Oct 16, 2024 · Driver assistance, Electrical · 117,329 miles · KY

My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. The same for my blind spot indicators. They just go off for no reason. Now after months of issues and zero error codes, they say it's the transmission failing and it will cost me $6,000 to fix. That's assuming that is actually the problem.

Was driving on freeway, in the middle lane, and card just started slowing down for no reason, pressed gas and it still was slowing down. It felt like the brakes were being applied even though I was just pressing the gas. Finally it stopped and I turned the car off and then back on and the problem went away. I think it was the adaptive cruise control and not the collision avoidance because no warnings came u on the dash. Luckily the cars behind me were able to stop without rear ending me but they sure were angry with me.

Adaptive cruise control has a mind of its own. Sometimes it keeps you between the road lines. Sometimes it will let you go off the road. Sometimes it will try to pull the steering wheel out of your hands for no reason. Sometimes the pre-collision alarm will go off for no reason. Sometimes it will stop for a vehicle in front of you. Sometimes it will not. How can you feel safe driving this vehicle?

2/5/19, attempted to use parallel park assist for the first time. Following prompts on the display, pulled forward and stopped. Next screen prompted to remove hands from steering wheel,vehicle proceeded to back up slowly and turned into designated space,car accelerated with no time to apply brakes and impacted car parked behind me and stalled. Vehicle speed pushed the parked vehicle 30 ft. That vehicle stopped when it hit a parked car,2 spaces behind it. I called the dealer that day to add the incident to a scheduled servicing on 2/8/19. Serv dept ran diagnostics,no malfunction to the system. A test drive showed parking assist did not sense the curb during parallel parking,but registered for perpendicular parking. Results were unacceptable,it came too close to the vehicle next to it, no prompt to stop and pull forward. He backed into the curb, no prompt from assist feature. Findings were forwarded to ford motor. 2/17/19,while at a red light,no other vehicles,the light changed to green,and when brakes released,collision avoidance sounded and sensors lit up. Vehicle was not moving. I received a letter that ford does not believe the subject vehicle qualifies for compensation because the dealership test drove the vehicle and could not be duplicate complaint. 5/29/19,the serv mng explained that another service department verified all sensors and wiring are operational. A technician test-drove it and assured me that everything worked properly. I drove my vehicle to a parking lot, and tried to use park assist. It indicated an empty spot, and proceeded to auto-park. The sensors did not indicate a car already parked there. It gave no warning to stop,I manually terminated the assist. The service dept asked for the vehicle, so a field service engineer could test the system. They concluded the system does not work as it should and no update is available at this time.
