2020 FORD EXPEDITION Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

There are 3 issues going on with my SUV. Each item has been identified or verified at my local dealership. My main issue is that the car occasionally will not go into the correct gear. This mostly happens when I haven't driven the car in a couple of days, and it's cold out. It also shifts hard for no reason. I was informed that there is some sort of transmission issue with my type suv. I never received a recall notice or anything. Second, my alarm goes off in the middle of the night randomly. The dealership said this was due to a faulty latch on the back of the car. They also said this was a newer issue that other customers have had. Last, my pre-collision assist will activate when there is nothing around to trigger it. This has happened one time so far.

The transmission has now had over 5 shifting stall and power loss events while on the highway when attempting to downshift when accelerating. This loss of power causes a drastic reduction in speed and delay in actions. These events have nearly cause accidents at highway speeds. Additionally the radar sensor for the collision avoidance system went out and the car now shifts harshly in any gear with jerking and clanking. Multiple service lights are now illuminated. This first happened around 20k miles, but is has been increasing in frequency and now the car is not safe or driveable. This is the same transmission that is affecting other ford cars, like the ford 150 which has been subject to recalls. From publicly available information Ford thinks it’s a shifter and transmission disconnect but has not been able to implement a fox.

2020 - Expedition collision avoidance should be investigated. Background: 05-08-21 Traveling south at 6 pm near Oxford Michigan on M-24 (grassy-median 4-lane highway) at the posted 55 MPH limit in clear weather. Ford Co-Pilot360 & 360 Assist active with 360 deg camera. Speed control set to normal mode with “collision avoidance” set to max and auto braking. I am (1st car) in the right lane with a 2nd car following also in my lane. A 3rd car (waiting to enter the highway) stops ahead (on right- from west) at an intersection where left turns (north) are prohibited. That 3rd car safely turns right (south) in front of us quickly crossing both active southbound lanes and over into the short left turn-around lane north. That 3rd driver had cleared the two active lanes quickly and safely. As our vehicles approached him we had an open traffic lane on our left, a...

Forward collision warning, dynamic brake support and automatic emergency braking do not work and the driver menu to to turn on/off and or adjust settings is inaccessible. Although not part of NHTSA recall #20V-262 issued in May 2020, my vehicle matches the exact vehicle configuration and problem(s) outlined in the recall documentation. The vehicle was brought to the dealership on 6/16/2020 where Ford claimed the vehicle did not have any of the aforementioned safety systems and therefore had no issue. [see attached paperwork dated 6/16/2020] After 1 entire month of back and forth, the dealership subsequently acknowledge the vehicle does indeed have the safety features and they need to further investigate with no commitments made on solution and or timeline. [see attached email dated The issue was spurred by a near miss collision when the systems did not activate.
