While backing at low speed in a residential driveway, the vehicle struck a parked car causing significant damage. No adas safety systems activated: reverse automatic braking did not engage, no parking sensor warnings sounded, no audible or visual alerts occurred. The vehicle made no attempt to slow or stop despite approaching a large stationary obstacle. The vehicle has two open unrepaired recalls at the time of incident: recall 25v488 (electronic brake booster): ebb module may shut off unexpectedly during adas use. The ebb is integral to the electronic braking system adas relies on to autonomously apply brakes. If faulted, reverse automatic braking cannot engage regardless of sensor detection. Software fix was available but never applied. Ford documented 37 warranty claims and one crash before issuing this recall. Recall 25v863 (integrated park module): may fail to lock into park. Remedy not yet available. The vehicle provided zero warning of degraded safety capability. No dashboard indicators or alerts that adas was unavailable. Multiple overlapping systems failed simultaneously suggesting cascading failure from the ebb fault or multiple independent defects. Ford ssms 52161, 49767, and 50360 document known lightning issues with inoperative park aid and reverse brake assist unavailability. The recall notice emphasizes brake pedal feel but does not clearly communicate that the defect can disable automatic emergency braking. Consumers may delay repair not realizing adas is compromised. Vehicle is available for inspection.
Driver side rear tail light housing has a crack that has allowed moisture to enter the housing. Oct 2025 took it to dealer to notify of the problem of water getting in the tail light housing once noticed around 500 miles on truck about a month after purchase. Told to make an appointment to get it submitted for warranty. I was able to dry out the tail light housing and epoxied the crack to prevent water from getting back in. When I finally had the time for an appointment with recall service I had the dealer submit the claim April 2026. Ford denied the claim on 5/11/2026 due to gsb26-7012. Before drying out the housing I did have a couple auto break activations and think this was to excessive water in the tail light housing.
When in reverse the backup camera goes to a clear image then randomly goes from a black screen to a green screen and then back to normal. During that whole process and chime goes off in the truck. A message is displayed on the dash but it disappears too fast. The dealership has been able to recreate the problem but unable to repair my truck because they can’t catch the truck doing that error while hooked up to their computer system. Happens about twice a week.
