37 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2015 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 07/15/2022

Moisture in a taillight housing of a 2015 lariat F-150 caused the blis module and wiring harness to short out. The blis module is tied into multiple vehicle systems, and caused the following issues: airbags turned off blis system turned off tpms turned off windows and door locks don't function radio stuck in whatever setting it is in when faulted air conditioning panel and all climate controls turn off during a road trip this happened. I was unable to egress the vehicle until I shut it off. It is summertime so the vehicle, without ac or the ability to control the windows, became very hot. I had kids in the car. Also, without airbags, window, and door control, if I were to crash the vehicle, I don't know if I could safely extract my family. The moisture in the taillight is a known issue, and is covered in gsb 22-7002, but I couldn't find a blis module gsb/TSB. However, the blis module failure is a known issue, and there are multiple diagnostic videos and write-ups describing this issue on youtube and F-150 forums. This is a safety issue, and should promptly be addressed.

1. The passenger and drivers side modules were replaced by the dealership but the issues still persist and are available for inspection upon request. 2. Safety could be at risk. Reverse brake assist error issue could potentially cause a small child or person to be in danger if sensors are not working or cause an accident. 3. It has been reproduced and verified by the dealer. The dealer is sill-terhar motors in broomfield, CO. 4. The passenger and drivers side rear modules were replaced by the dealership, but the issues still persist. 5. The system failure messages did appear at the time of failure. They started appearing approximately a week after we purchased the truck. First warning is logged in the Fordpass app on June 13, 2021 I get three warnings pretty consistently when the system fails. So far the Fordpass app has over100 error messages regarding my issue. The warning messages all show up at the same time. They are usually: 1. Blind spot system fault 2. Cross traffic system fault 3. Reverse brake assist not available see manual (even though it is turned on) 4. Hill start assist error occurs as well 5. Sometimes when I am in reverse and these go off and I then brake with the foot pedal, the electronic emergency brake engaged without any manual intervention. First 3 errors have happened while reversing and while driving in normal city street and highway speeds. Taking into the dealer to have it looked at again on Nov. 4, 2021. Issues started 06/13/2021 and continue to present (as of this writing 10/25/2021).

41 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2020 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 03/21/2021

I was involved in an accident in my new Ford F-150 king ranch on the above date traveling on the henry hudson parkway (manhattan) southbound. My truck was struck in the rear passenger door by an unknown vehicle and caused us to spin out 2 � times at 60 mph and hit the center concrete divider almost directly head on. We hit to the passenger side of the front of the truck. . The airbags didn't deploy. The canisters on the side impact airbags opened and the powder was all over but the bags didn't deploy. I don't think this was normal and I feel it should be looked at. There was $31,000 damage to the vehicle which wasn't totaled. Is this something that this agency will look into for me? respectfully submitted, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

44 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2019 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 05/25/2019

I've been dealing with a vibration/shaking in my factory driver side mirror at high speeds and on bumpy roads since I got my truck in may 2019 (over three years). No issue on the passenger side. I've dealt with it off and on with the dealer as time and life have allowed. Currently I'm on my fourth mirror and have a case manager from Ford corporate. I have attached some of my correspondence with them for your reference. My problem is that the driver side shaking is very bad. It's distracting at high speeds and at night when headlights are shining behind you, it can be like a light show in the corner of your eye while driving. After much trial and error, I believe the vibration is coming from the articulation point between where the arm that comes off the truck connects with the arm that supports the mirror. Where it folds in basically. There isn't anything that can be adjusted, that particular area is all enclosed. I'm on my second dealer after the first claimed the mirror was fine. I took the truck for a drive with the foreman at the new dealer who confirmed he could see the issue. They ordered me a new mirror again and after installing it sure enough the new one shakes just like the prior ones have. The dealer said they had a regional service tech from Ford drive it after the new mirror went on and this person told them the shaking was normal. I'm talking with the case manager from Ford also and they are investigating what to do since there's clearly (in my opinion) some sort of defect with this part but no recall or fix has been made to my knowledge. I may be elevated to their legal team. At issue currently, I have asked my case manager from Ford whether they can have someone such as an engineer or safety team examine the part and assess whether the mirror design is faulty but they have no one in their company. The case manager claims to not know if Ford has a team like this. The dealerships didn't design the part so they can't assess whether it's flawed.
