2024 Ford Escape ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION

The 2024 Ford Escape continues failing to record safety events. Alert history and messages sections are NOT updating after warnings . Because the alert-history system is failing, the vehicle does not store warnings. This prevents accurate diagnosis and hides safety-critical failures. ADAS systems are unreliable, making lane changes, reversing, and merging unsafe. Ford dealership and engineering hotline have been working on the vehicle since Nov 3 and have repeatedly reproduced ADAS failures. Safety alerts have continued since March 2025. Ford engineers and dealership technicians have inspected the vehicle multiple times, including the current visit (Nov 3–present). Engineering hotline continues to escalate. ADAS warnings have appeared since March 24, 2025. Today’s event shows that the Alert History and Messages features STILL do not log warnings even after repairs. “Following multiple failed repairs and an IPMA module replacement, the 2024 Ford Escape still fails to record critical safety alerts. As of today, the Alert History shows only a single old entry and does not log new ADAS warnings. The Messages section also shows numerous unread messages but does not display new alert data. This confirms the ADAS system and data-logging subsystem are still malfunctioning after weeks in the dealership and engineering involvement.”

Version, perfectly formatted, non-repetitive, and aligned with the newest updates (vehicle still in shop, engineering cannot fix, extended delays, failed module replacement). Yes, use today’s date (Nov 21, 2025) as the incident date. ⸻ Complaint #7 – NHTSA 900-Character Version (Copy/Paste Ready) Incident Date: 11/21/2025 After a dealership-installed replacement of the IPMA/Front Camera module (authorized by Ford engineering) 11/14/2025 , the ADAS safety systems (BLIS, Cross-Traffic, Pre-Collision Assist, Park Aid, and alert history logging) are still malfunctioning. The vehicle has now been out of service since Nov 3 and the dealer reports that Ford engineering is still unable to identify a fix. The alert history remains corruptive and fails to record events. This is still unresolved ADAS issues and prolonged repair delays. Dealer has been exceptional in communication and left (2) voicemail stating Engineering hotline continues working on it but Ford’s inability to provide a remedy leaves the vehicle unsafe and unusable until further notice. Nov 3 - ongoing in shop.

Answer #1 — Component or System Failed The safety-sensor system failed, including the IDPM/PA module (Park Aid module), Blind Spot Detection system, Cross-Traffic Alert sensors, and the vehicle’s alert-history recording system. The vehicle and replaced module are available for inspection upon request. Answer #2 — How Safety Was Put at Risk The vehicle intermittently loses blind spot monitoring, cross-traffic alerts, and parking assistance, which can cause missed hazards, unsafe lane changes, and inaccurate detection of surrounding vehicles. The system also fails to record or retain safety alerts, preventing accurate diagnosis and leaving safety events untracked. Answer #3 — Has the Problem Been Reproduced or Confirmed? Yes. The dealership and Ford engineering hotline have both confirmed continued faults even after replacing the IDPM/PA module. Alerts continue to appear intermittently, and the dealership states they are still unable to correct or stabilize the system. Answer #4 — Has the Vehicle Been Inspected by Manufacturer or Others? Yes. • Multiple inspections by the Ford dealership • Diagnostics and direction from Ford corporate engineering hotline • The issue remains unresolved despite repeated repairs, module replacement, and engineering involvement. Answer #5 — Warning Lamps, Messages, First Appearance Yes. Warnings include: • Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic Fault • Park Aid Malfunction • Missing or incomplete alert-history logs and system cannot be cleared after new install • Recurring safety warnings since March 2025, continuing today after module replacement. This extends the current out-of-service period to 17 consecutive days, with no confirmed fix and an open engineering case from Ford. This further supp

1. Component or System Failed •Blind Spot Detection •Cross-Traffic Alert •Park Aid Sensors •Forward Collision Assist •ADAS / IPMA module •Alert-history recording system 2. How Safety Was Put at Risk Intermittent or missing ADAS warnings cause: •Unsafe lane changes •Missed hazards •Loss of blind-spot awareness •Loss of cross-traffic alerts •Failure to record safety events These issues increase risk of side-impact collisions. 3. Reproduced or Confirmed by Dealer Yes. Ford dealer and Ford Engineering Hotline confirmed the defects both before and after the module replacement. 4. Inspected by Manufacturer Yes. Ford Field Service Engineers + Ford Hotline inspected and escalated the case. 5. Warning Lamps / Messages •Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic Fault •Park Aid Malfunction •Forward Collision Assist Unavailable •Missing or incomplete alert-history logs

Repeated failures of BLIS, Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist, Parking Aid, Front Camera/IPMA, cruise control, and Miles-to-Empty (MTE). Likely ADAS module/IPMA-related. Vehicle is currently at Ford dealership and available for inspection. ADAS failures caused no blind spot, no cross-traffic, and no forward collision warnings. Nearly collided during a lane change when BLIS did not detect a vehicle beside me. Safety systems fail unpredictably at highway speeds, increasing risk to me and other drivers. Yes. Ford dealership reproduced the problems on multiple visits, and Ford Hotline engineers confirmed the ADAS faults. Ford authorized replacement of the IPMA (front camera/ADAS module). Yes. The Ford dealership technicians and (2) Ford engineering Hotline have inspected the ADAS system multiple times. Ford’s technical support confirmed the faults and authorized replacement of the IPMA module, indicating manufacturer-level inspection and intervention. No police or insurance inspections were conducted because no crash occurred. Yes—BLIS faults, Cross-Traffic faults, Pre-Collision Assist Not Available, Front Camera Fault, Parking Aid Malfunction. First appeared on 3/24/2025 around 3,900 miles. Alerts appeared regularly until 9/16/2025, then stopped recording despite faults still occurring.
