What owners report
I was involved in a rear end collision where I was at fault. I suspect the ADAS in my 2024 F-150 malfunctioned because it did not prevent the collision. I impacted the rear of a minivan at approximately 20 mph. The ADAS did not take evasive action.
The contact owns a 2025 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while idle at a red light, while using the brake hold feature, the vehicle's brakes suddenly released, causing them to rear-end the vehicle in front. No air bags deployed.
The warning blares when you are passing a stopped car on your left scares the heck out of you. As for a date listed below it happens occasionally.
The contact owns a 2025 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle and shifting into gear, the adaptive cruise control mode independently activated and set the speed to 15 MPH.
While driving on a controlled-access highway, BlueCruise Hands-Free was active. The Adaptive Cruise Control was set to 65 MPH and the vehicle’s recognized speed limit was 65 MPH. My foot was not on the accelerator.
On 9/1/26 I was traveling in the left most lane, southbound on the NJ Parkway around mile marker 82.7 (or wherever that Maintenance Yard is, I believe District 3) and I had the Blue Cruise feature active.
