Representative owner complaints: forward collision avoidance
1 report, newest first. Show all
Forward collision avoidance, Jun 4, 2022
Driving on interstate with cruise control suddenly for no reason the vehicle self brakes hard. Luckily no other vehicles close by. Able to get vehicle to shoulder (lucky shoulder and driving in right lane). We have collision assist and ABS with cruise adaptive. It’s obvious that it malfunctioned and we are very lucky. Called WInnebago and they said this is Ford Chassis- called Ford and they said they would get back to me! We were afraid to travel On but did and it hasn’t malfunctioned again. We also read that we could turn the system off, which we now did. Ford rep should have immediately told us to turn it off for our safety. Instead we haven’t heard a word back from Ford.
