    - Deerfield Beach , FL

    Pre collision pedestrian/cyclist warning automatic braking not working. Dealership tried 2x did all upgrades, checked another vehicle same results. Ford said both to technician and myself. This is normal. So pre collision does not activate in city traffic when they advertise and charge for this feature. Open to accidents and I jury.

  • 2020 LINCOLN CORSAIR
    - Rapid City, SD

    While driving, received AWD, Traction Control, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Alert/Malfunction lights on instrument panel and notification that none of them were working. Happened consistently after starting vehicle while driving a few minutes. Had vehicle taken in to dealership to discover a new AWD module was needed and not covered by warranty. After further research, determined that there was a recall for the same part on the same model of our vehicle one year later but did not include our year model.
