My 2024 Ford Escape remains in the dealership since Nov 3, 2025. Today I was notified that Ford engineering and the dealer still cannot clear the ongoing pre-collision assist / forward collision warning faults. This is now the 13th documented safety-system failure. Multiple adas systems have failed since March 2025 (blis, cross traffic, park aid, front camera). After the Nov 14 ipma module replacement, new issues developed including tpms failure and alert-history not recording events. Vehicle is unsafe to drive and unrepairable after multiple attempts. Ford engineering states codes will not clear. ”.
Our vehicle has been in and out of the Ford dealership 6 times now for the same problems. Now they say that it will take maybe another 2 months to have a fix. This is even though it has said each time that it has been fixed. Now they want us to return our loner a drive an unsafe car without safety features for the unseen future. I have had two case numbers open with Ford and they will not respond back with the second case. I have to keep calling them. They expect us to drive an unsafe vehicle and it is unacceptable that they are doing this.
On dashboard, states: regain control, bind spot system fault, cross-traffic system fault, front camera fault service required, pre-collision assist not available. We have a [xxx] in the car and the added safety features to assist while driving are faulty. Ford knows it is an issue but has not been able to fix it. Taken it in twice for a system wipe but it reappears within a day. Spoke with Ford customer service to begin a claim. We purchased the vehicle in June 2024 and started in July 2024. Was told a fix would be March 2025, now they said may 2025. Keeps getting pushed out because they cannot fix the issue. Warning lights on dashboard on at all times. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
