| Blind Spot Detection problems |
Air bag light comes on sometimes not other car panic alarm goes off at random times backup camera sometimes work sometimes glitches.
My airbag light suddenly came on this morning and my light blinking off for the airbag was blinking my whole trip to work. I've also had my catalytic converter replaced and my check engine warning still says their is an issue when everything has been replaced lights on my mirrors also don't cut on when someone is in my blind spots the symbol is there but they don't light up my back up camera has not worked correctly since a few weeks after I got the car. I have taken it to the dealership and their stating it happens in these vehicles sometimes.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side rearview mirrors' blind spot detection system was inoperable. A message advising that unknown sensors were inoperable was displayed intermittently, and the contact was required to press "ok". Additionally, a message advising that unknown sensors were inoperable was constantly displayed on the instrument panel. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v695000 (back over prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the rearview camera image was distorted or blank while in reverse(r). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was confirmed that the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while reversing at approximately 5 mph, the failure recurred, causing the vehicle to crash into a pole. The contact stated that the rear bumper was damaged. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was taken to an autobody repair shop, where the contact was informed that the rear bumper needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
Cross traffic system fault and blind spot system fault warnings intermittently appear. When this happens the climate control, entertainment control shuts off. All windows other than the driver's window cannot be operated from the driver's control. Other controls on the touchscreen become inoperable. The windshield wipers will turn on and swipe once or twice even though there is no moisture and low humidity. These things will happen while driving and then go back to normal operation while driving two to 20 minutes later. My concern is that there is a module or system that is malfunctioning and while it hasn't been a safety issue yet, I worry that at some point I may be driving and the errors may cause loss of steering or braking or engine to turn off or accelerate or lights may turn off at night which would have a potential to injure or cause a fatal occurrence to myself, my family or an innocent person that happens to be near me. These issues have been going on for quite awhile and no one can seem to find a solution. It was looked at by a Ford dealer, independent mechanics and reported to Ford to establish a record with them. One mechanic feels it is all related to the bcm body control module. I am giving a date below because that is required. The issues began prior to that date and many times since. That is the date we started keeping records.
