Description of the problem | Forward collision warning. This system is supposed to warn you that the car is stopped at a light and you approaches car or if he pulls in front of you slows down quick to give you sufficient time to stop. On my car you have to be 10 feet from the other car or at times it doesn't work at all. To prove this i have run many tests. The dealer says when following closely behind a vehicle or one stops quickly in front of you the red lights are not coming on the and activating the driver assisted braking. They have not been able to find any trouble and they say everything is working correctly. The said also the front crash sensors are not working and being too close to the vehicle front of them. I believe ford has engineered system poorly and it could be a danger to many families depending on this it is my belief that this should be looked into quickly prevent any possibility of a rear end crash and to warn them before the collision occurs. It is impossible to show you on this form a video to showing you how the system should perform. Hope you look into this matter quickly before it causes the bad rear end collision. Thank you |
