After about 6,000 miles we began to notice that the right hand side blis sensor and signal light indicating a vehicle is in the blind spot when no vehicle or other object are within the area. Often the light will remain on for several minutes. Additionally, occasionally started to give false warnings when no cross traffic was in the area. Now vehicles can be as close as five feet before the cross traffic alert will signal traffic. Upon original purchase the cta worked as described. Online official ford documentation cites the blis will work only for vehicles and not people, infrastructure, bicycles, etc. Cross traffic alert will pick up vehicles approaching from 65 feet away but not when approaching vehicles are moving faster than 15 MPH. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiwhcl1vs4s and http://media.ford.com/images/10031/blis.pdf we've take the taurus to the purchase dealer who keeps saying the system is working as seen by a tech walking behind the car effectively only testing the reverse sensor system but they will not test for cross traffic or blind spot situations and they keep saying that cannot fix something they cannot see as broken.
