2024 Ford Expedition driver assistance problems

Filed Oct 6, 2026 · Driver assistance · CA · crash

While leaving a parking lot the vehicle was pulling out a parking spot in reverse, as the vehicle changed from reverse to drive, teh vehicle randomly started accelerating without cause, the gas pedal was not initiated and there was no pedal influence at all. The car had an internal computer issue and started to sort through the cruise control settings, adapative cruise control settings, and just started accelerating out of nowhere without being told to do so. The car was able to come to a complete stop after the driver reacted quickly;y and swiftly, scaring the passenger of the vehicle which was his wife, and his (2) daughters one of which is an infant and the other a toddler. This was a scary moment for the entire family as the vehicle had zero control. We have reported the incident to the proper channels at Ford and have taken the vehicle in to have it diagnosed and nothing has been done to correct the problem; in fact they haven’t even found a problem. The car has done this on multiple occasions so now we dont park the vehicle in parking garages, car parking lots in close proximity to other vehicles, and we do not pull nose in to parking spots at all in the event that the car accelerates without cause. The car is also having a multitude of transmission issues from skipping to dropping out to locking up. The car has been taken in on multiple occasions just to be told they didn’t find any issues. Ultimately we believe the car has a software issue as we had another ford vehicle, a ford F250 also a 2024 that had computer issues and was purchased back by ford. This however is my wife’s vehicle and she needs the car for our kids sports and entertainment purposes so we dont have the luxury of dropping the vehicle off to be bought back and wait a long duration of time for the lemon law process to take place. This car has been nothing but a safety issue and a headache since it was purchased and I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MODEL SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD WITH OTHER FAMILIES.

Since I purchased the vehicle brand new, none of the safety features have been functional. The following sensors are faulty and none of them have worked since I bought the vehicle: 1) Cross Traffic Alert; 2) Blindspot System Fault; 3) Pre-Collision Assist; 4) Front Camera Fault; 5) Parking Sensor Fault; 6) Lane Keeping Assistance. I tried to take the vehicle into the service department of the dealership to fix the problem several times, but as of this time, there has been no solution. The dealership said the problem cannot be fixed, because only Ford Corporation can create a computer software fix for the problem. I was instructed by the dealership not to bring the vehicle back for the same issues, because nothing can be done, and they will not touch it. However, Ford has failed to launch a computer software fix, since I had had the vehicle to 2 years. Since the dealership can't fix it and Ford can't fix it, I am stuck with a defective vehicle that is "Unsafe" to drive, because all of these safety features that are not functional help prevent and reduce the probability of motor vehicle accidents. Ford is refusing to help me and rejected my claim even though they can't fix it.

I bought this vehicle brand new in 2024 and none of the safety features are functional and can't be fixed. Ford corporation cannot find a a computer software fix for it and the dealership can't fix it. The vehicle in unsafe to drive. The following sensors are faulty and have continued to give failure alerts since I purchased the vehicle: 1) Cross Traffic Alert; 2) Blind Spot System Fault; 3) Pre-Collision Assist; 4) Front Camera Fault; 5) Parking Sensor Fault; 6) Lane Keeping Assistance, 7) Rear backup assistance. It is a safety hazard and unsafe to drive because none of the "Safety Warning" or "Driver Assistance" features work, that would help prevent accidents. For the past 2 years, I have been driving this defective vehicle that is a safety hazard, which is not repairable, nor is the vehicle marketable. I have tried to resolve this issue numerous times, but there is no solution. The dealership advised me to not bring it in for service again, because there is nothing that can be done. I tried to file a claim with Ford Corporate and requested they buy the vehicle back, because it meets the criteria and the elements under the Texas Lemon Law, regarding electrical and safety concerns. However, my claim was rejected. As of right now, there is no solution for this issue.

I have had my car at the dealership twice, once in August of 2025 and once in February of 2026 because when I start I get a warning, front collision assist malfunction, lane keep assist malfunction, blind spot monitoring malfunction, and as a result, I have no cruise control, even in normal cruise control mode. I have been told it’s an electrical update, and it was October, then January, now it’s March. Just saw a recall was issued for Navigator, Nautilus, Aviator, and Explorer with this exact problem, but no recall for the expedition.

I own a 2024 Ford Expedition XLT. The vehicle repeatedly loses multiple federally mandated safety systems including Blind Spot Monitoring, Cross-Traffic Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and camera systems. Alerts include: ‘Cross-Traffic System Fault,’ ‘Blind Spot System Fault,’ ‘Pre-Collision Assist Not Available,’ ‘Front Camera Fault,’ and ‘Check Parking Sensors.’ Ford has acknowledged this as a known issue with a fix delayed until June. My dealer (Morries Ford, Buffalo MN) is charging $225 each time the defect recurs just to clear errors. This is a safety defect that places my family at risk. Ford is refusing to cover the full repair cost and the dealer is charging for temporary resets.

I purchased this 2024 Ford Expedition brand new from a Ford certified dealer (Conklin Cars, Newton , Kansas). Upon driving off the lot for the first time to a gas station across the street from the dealer, at restart all the sensor gave warnings. Sensors that gave warning include: Blind spots sensors, back-up sensors, Froward impact, lane departure, automatic braking, rear cross traffic, and the cruise display. I took it back to the dealership and the reset the system and upon starting the vehicle after parked, all the sensors stopped working again. I then took the Ford Expedition back to the certified dealer (Conklin Cars, Newton , Kansas) and they game me sheets of paper, Last one give after 4 visits to dealer [XXX]) stating that Ford knows of the an issues, which appear to be right off the factory line. This has been over a year and there have been several close calls for me and my family without these sensors, which is standard in most cars these days. Me and my family expect these sensors to work on the vehicles we drive, rather basic or premium. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
