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 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.
