Blind Spot Detection problems of the 2018 Ford F-150

The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 26v373000 (exterior lighting) and customer satisfaction program: 25n17 (rear view camera replacement if required after dealer evaluation); however, the failure occurred after the repairs were performed. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "parking brake engaged" message displayed, and the blind spot sensor became inoperable. An unknown warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the tpms was inoperable. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

According to repairman, water made it into the rear tail light, shorting out a module that controls all lights, windows, a/c and heating controls.

Taillight leaks water causing the blindspot sensor to burn up. Once the sensor is burned up the airbags, power door locks, power windows, heat/defrost, and the radio don't work. This is a known problem and Ford has no fix for it. It is several weeks wait to get it into Ford and costs several thousand dollars for a known problem that they are not addressing. Having no heat or defrosters in the winter make this a safety issue for everyone on the road not just the operator. Door locks and windows not working is a safety issue for the vehicle passengers.

I was driving on the highway at 65 mph. A warning light came on saying my driver's side blind spot warning was not working. Then immediately a warning light with a wrench came on and said that there was a problem with the transmission. Then my truck shut down completely. It is not able to start, and the Ford dealer says they have no idea why.
