My truck is currently experiencing a front camera fault that is resulting the pre-collision warning/assist, adaptive/normal cruise control, and lane keeping warning/assist from operating as designed. Upon dealer inspection on 7/11/24 it is noted that TSB 23-2146 was issued to correct the issue by replacing cables and ultimately the image control camera and module resulting in thousands of dollars in repair costs of a known issue by Ford.
This vehicle is equipped with Ford bluecruise hands-free highway driving system. This system was activated when this occurred and my hands were off the wheel. Driving southbound on I-75 in georgia, 4:00pm, left-most lane, with an ~8 ft shoulder and barrier, a few miles before mile 39, right around sparks and adel, GA. There were two dark tire skid marks in the road leading from the lane into the shoulder/barrier. It seemed like the truck thought those tire skid marks were the lines in the road and took the truck with them into the shoulder. Luckily I was paying close attention and consider myself to have quick reflexes. I was able to grab the wheel and correct before the truck got too far out of the lane. Only when the truck started going out of the lane did the system turn off and tell the driver to take control. This dash warning occurred fractions of a second after I grabbed the wheel to correct. I had my dash camera operating at the time, but I was too slow to capture and save the exact occurrence, however I do have an image of the same portion of highway where this occurred. I have uploaded two images. One unedited image and one "example" image of what the tire skid marks looked like in the road. Someone paying less attention or with slower reflexes could have easily ended up in the barrier at 70-80 mph. The vehicle has not been inspected for this. Other than this incident, it has functioned seemingly fine and without indicating any error codes or check engine lights.
