I was driving the Ford Edge and the roads were a little slick so I was driving very slow. I was about 2 blocks from my house when I needed to engage the brakes to come to a complete stop, which happened to be going downhill toward a stop sign that intersected with a freeway off ramp. Both the brakes and ABS failed to engage and I hit a guard rail across the intersection. This caused significant damage to my vehicle and was very lucky that no one was hurt. The "Check Brake System" only came up after I ran into the guard rail, which was also the only time I needed to fully engage the brake to come to a full stop. The shop confirmed that the accident would not have damaged the brakes.

1) The lane keeping assistance feature was engaged. 2) I observed an upcoming snow drift across the road. 3) I stepped on the brakes to slow down. 4) I observed there was no oncoming traffic (two lane road). 5) I moved over towards the center of the road to better navigate the snow drift. 6. The lane keeping assistance feature adjusted my steering to move me back into my lane (closer to the ditch). 7. The vehicle entered the snow drift with my wheels turned to the right. 8. The snow drift impaired the lane keeping assistance feature. 9. I lost control of the vehicle. 10. I hit a utility pole. Does the user manual instruct the operator to disengage the lane keeping assistance feature during snow and icy conditions?

Ford did an over the air update claiming to fix a rear distortion camera… I took to dealership (sarasota ford to fix) that over the air update cause my front forward camera to no longer work.. My vehicle is now over a year old and I have been making payments… I have 4 case numbers, spoke with plently of mother ford people plus its lived at the dealership … they have no fix… and they make sure they release my car at the 5 day mark, so I cannot get a buy back…. I was denied a buyback bc my vehicle wasnt there “long enough” really? There is many many folks with same issue…. This is a danger issue when u cannot see what is infront of this camera bc it stopped working… I purchased a 56k plus car and no one will help me… perhaps a class action suit to buy back or fix this issue?

I received a recall letter from Ford Motor Company dated April 2022 for recall notice 22S14 / the federal safety agency Recall 22V151. The risk is "A rear-view camera that intermittently displays a blank or distorted image can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash." This recall is not in the Ford or the federal safety agency database for my vehicle yet I have experienced this problem. The remedy is a software update which the dealer has not been able to install. A new AIPM module has been on backorder since November 19, 2021 when the previous owner experienced the same problem.
