NHTSA Complaint #11700693 — 2024 FORD ESCAPE

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection? The ADAS system (IPMA front camera module, BLIS, Cross-Traffic, Park Aid, and alert-history logging) continues to malfunction even after Ford installed a new IPMA/IPA module on Nov 14. Vehicle is at the dealership and available for inspection. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Safety alerts fail to appear, the ADAS system does not record events, and blind-spot/lane-change warnings are missing, creating a collision risk. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Dealer and Ford Engineering Hotline confirmed defects continue after module replacement. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes. Ford Engineering Hotline and dealership technicians have inspected and attempted repairs. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. ADAS warning messages began March 24, 2025. After the Nov 14 module install, alerts persist and the alert-history remains incomplete.
