NHTSA Complaint #11608062 — 2022 FORD MUSTANG MACH E

Multiple safety features rendered INOPERABLE AND USELESS including front collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping system because FORD uses an inferior product to connect the vehicle's cameras and sensors. Each of the systems listed "front collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping system" are now DISABLED and they are integral to preventing collisions. The vehicle is marketed with those features and is presumably justification of the MSRP charged to customers. FORD is apparently aware of the issue based on FORD forums, that replacement of windshield can comprise the coax cable. The company is using an outdated and less reliable coax cable to run sensors and cameras for an Electric Vehicle when a much more viable, pliable and reliable Fiber media has been available for over 20 years is shortsighted and cheap. Coax to run safety features also brings into question how that feature was safety tested. The vehicle was diagnosed by a Ford Dealership in PA, "U2107" code indicating an issue with the coax cable used to connect the sensors and camera. No component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. Even though there were warning messages it is UNKOWN when the issue actually started or know exactly when the systems failed. I am sure FORD can check the messages store in the software.
