LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The 7 pin trailer connecton doesn't work properly. The trailer clearance lights are on all the time. Even with the truck lights off. The electric brake controller pulses electric to the trailer brakes. Even when there is no trailer connected and the truck not running. The trailer brakes locked up. The lane centering is so sensitive the steering wheel shimmies. This makes the trailer sway.

the blue cruise hands free driving feature does not work and has guided the vehicle off of the road. It also asks the driver to take the steering wheel, but will not register that has happened without a very hard pull on the wheel, which pulls the vehicle into other lanes of traffic. this is a very dangerous situation.

On 14 September, at approximately 11am, I rear ended another vehicle a Honda Pilot. I anticipated the vehicle in front of me pulling out into the intersection and took my eyes off that vehicle to look at vehicles approaching from my left. The vehicle in front of me stopped and I hit them moving less than 10 mph. The airbags didn't deploy and the people in both vehicles were fine. However, my 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum is equipped with emergency braking and pre-collision safety features. They did not engage and I hit the vehicle. People cannot rely on these systems protecting them.

My truck has BlueCruise technology. I have noted that the technology can be dangerous and drive me off the road, particularly in an area of an Interstate I drive often. Each time I go through that area, it will drive me off the road if I don't catch it. Always in the same place and in the same way.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
I am having multiple electrical glitches with the vehicle. While I was in bluecruise the self driving mode the vehicle warned me to take control and when I did the vehicle was stuck in a loop on the highway with notifications alarms. I was able to take a video one of the times. I took it to the ford dealer and they said they needed me to bring it back when an engineer was available. While waiting to go back had another serious issue with the head unit/audio system when I started up the vehicle. Ear damaging sounds came on and I lost control of the head unit. Shut the truck off and turned it back on and the ear piercing noises persisted. I made a video of this too. My head unit randomly reboots while driving the vehicle. Went back to ford and they did an update instead of having engineers diagnose the problem. Audio system still doesn’t work right and I think it is damaged from the event.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
This 2021 F150 is equipped with Ford BlueCruise. More than one time the truck has tried to leave the road while engaged. It also has a very dangerous trait - when the BlueCruise is active and the system wants the driver to take control, THE AMOUNT OF FORCE IT TAKES TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL OFTEN CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SWIRVE TO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS A HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN and has caused many near miss accidents at high speed, for me.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Listed date as the date I caught issue on camera, but this has happened multiple times before and since. Numerous issues w/ infotainment system on 2022 F150 Powerboost Platinum. Backup cameras will load normally when put into reverse, but "freeze" once the vehicle starts moving. Still displays last image, however it's not updating nor does any of the sensors work at this point. Vehicle still drives/shifts normally, but no alerts or warnings indicate problem. It's easy enough to realize (at some point) that the screen is frozen, however there are numerous safety hazards that this presents. One Example: Imagine backing out of a tight spot in a parking lot. Your camera loads normally and you start backing up, watching your camera/sensors. It freezes, in the 3-4 seconds it takes for you to realize that you're no longer watching a live feed, a child runs behind your vehicle, Not good. Again, the backup sensors do not work at this point. Additionally the screen will stay frozen in this manner for some time, restarting the vehicle does nothing. At some point the entire system will crash and both the dash and center screen go black though the vehicle continues to operate though you no longer have speedometer or other dashboard indications as they are all digital. In this incident I captured the frozen screen on video, and after restarting the vehicle multiple times, I began to drive home. Shortly after getting onto the freeway, both screens went blank and audio issues began, I had to pull off of the freeway, turn the truck off and wait about 10 minutes for it to boot back up and begin to work normally. Ford service could not find any problems or reproduce issue. It has happened maybe 5 or 6 times so far in the year I've owned the truck. I've attached a .gif of the problem captured on video (Ford service has seen and notated the problem as well). I have a better quality video available for your review. Gif shows frozen reverse screen, while pulling forward in drive.

1. The back up brake assistant is not working. This has been defective since August 2022. It caused me to have an accident running into a post, filing an insurance claim for repairs. I have taken it to 2 different Ford dealers for service and to get the back up brake fixed. No resolve from FORD. 2. In September 2022 my F150 started going into low power mode then eventually into deep sleep mode. The battery was replaced at FORD. Now on 11/15/22 and 11/16/22 the vehicle went into low power mode and deep sleep mode again.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: AUTOMATIC SYSTEM BRAKING
New 2022 Ford F-150 vehicle has a "Rear Brake Assist Not Available" dash warning with accompanting DTCs B1578:78, IPMA Error, and U023A, Lost Communication with Image Processing Module A. I should note my Check Engine Light never came on for either of these DTCs - I was given these codes by the dealer when I took vehicle in for service concerning the aforementioned dash warning. After having the vehicle for 10 days in May 2022, the dealer replaced the rear camera (ML3Z-19G490-C), control assembly (ML3Z-14G647-R), and performed an IPMA calibration and a 360° camera calibration. Work order indicates hard fault did not clear and after multiple calibration attempts, it finally completed and everything was okay. However, the Rear Brake Assist Not Available malfunction is not rectified and is still present. After advising Ford dealer Service Advisor the problem was not rectified, SA indicated Ford Engineering acknowledged it is a problem for which they do not yet have a solution. This is a safety system designed to prevent running over children, animals, and other collisions when driving in reverse with automatic rear braking assistance. If Ford cannot get it to work properly, what is the solution? The system has not worked since I took delivery of the new vehicle on April 15, 2022. Consequently, I have disabled Rear Brake Assist in the Driver Assistance Settings. Other driver assistance and safety features appear to be operating properly.
