1 Camera System problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2021

The forward-looking camera located in the rear view mirror assembly on a 2020 Ford Ranger has failed, and the replacement part is currently unavailable. Per Ford personnel, at least 96 Ford vehicles (as of 10/26/2021) are awaiting the replacement cameras, and Ford service personnel at the local Ford dealership have indicated that "they have replaced a lot of these cameras". When this camera malfunctions, the vehicle loses 100% of five (5) of its key advanced driver assistance systems (adas): 1. Adaptive cruise control (there is no cruise control whatsoever without this camera) 2. Forward collision warning 3. Automatic emergency braking 4. Lane departure warning 5. Lane keeping assistance this is a critical safety issue with the vehicle. The only safety features that work are the blind spot detection in the side mirrors, and the front and rear parking sensors -- the latter of which are useless in high-speed highway driving. My camera failed on or about August 21, 2021, and I am still waiting for an update on when the part will be available. The car can be operated without the adas system, but its safety is significantly and materially degraded. The replacement of the camera is a simple operation, but the parts are not available, and no one at Ford knows when they will become available. There are two (2) warning alarms which are audible and visible on the dash when the camera fails. Both can be "accepted" via the "ok" button on the steering wheel. Each time the car is started, both alarms activate shortly after the car warms up.
