Description of the problem | I went to my dealership in mexico complaining about the autolamp function, the autolamp is expected from the customer to avoid distraction while driving and conditions like tunnels are ahead it should turn on the lights as you enter or a couple of seconds later, however reality is that the headlights turn on after 13 seconds and that can't be reduced by the dealer, according to the dealer that's how the car was designed (not only for mexico) and that's a big security risk , in a very dark tunnel 13 seconds it's to late and people could die due to an accident. I encourage ford motor company to take real action to correct and recall this function to be corrected asap world wide, it's incredible that with such good car they missed this little but highly important detail. *js |
