NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
Significant vibration in the steering wheel when braking between 40-50 mph. It was reported to the dealer and "fixed" but just had it "fixed" for the 4th time. The vibration in the steering wheel is alarming and disconcerting to say the least. No warning lamps or other indications were present any of the times this has been experienced. After each "fix" the timeframe/mileage between occurrences has reduced. The last 3 times, the dealer had the car for over a week to allow them to perform a "comprehensive" fix. If you do a search on vehicle dashboards, this is an issue with many other 2021 mach-e vehicles. Ford continues to pretend like this is limited to my vehicle. While they have covered the reports thus far, having a vehicle with (now) 30,000 miles on it and multiple issues with the braking system (and it appears to be a systemic issue) is unsafe and causes significant lack of faith in my ability to brake safely. While I was assured by Ford that the brakes work fine and it wasn't unsafe, a jarring vibration in the steering wheel when decelerating in a specific speed range is not safe. The information in the "additional" details is for the latest (now 5th time) this is being addressed.
We came out to our parked car and got a message that said Stop Safely Now. The vehicle would not shift into gear. The dealership had confirmed that the high voltage junction box has failed. We did not get the Service Vehicle Soon warning prior to the failure, despite having had the recall software update applied. The first sign of failure was a loss of motive power. This is a safety issue because loss of motive power while driving can result in loss of control of the vehicle. The loss of heating and cooling combined with the loss of motive power is also a significant safety risk if the failure occurs in a remote location experiencing extreme temperatures. The part has yet to be replaced, but I’m sure Ford will be retaining it for inspection.
Several people with known issue of “pre collision alert” having to replace coax cables and impa camera. I am no longer under warranty and have to pay out of pocket til this becomes a recall. Cruise control will stop working when getting this alert
It would appear that after the recall repair my car is experiencing problems that we’re supposed to be addressed with the recall. All systems are constantly malfunctioning.
While driving on the NJ turnpike I notice a grinding noise. I was using 1 pedal drive at the time. Once I disabled the 1 pedal drive. I received multiple dash board alerts and App alerts that the Mach E was experiencing a Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced power. Hill start Assist Warning/Pre-Collision assist Not available. This happened on 8/24/2023. I drove to the dealership and left the vehicle with them to look into the alerts and grinding noise. I called the dealer the next week and was told that the front motor had failed and a replacement was ordered. I reached out today 9.18.23 and learned it was an oil leak that caused the motor to fail and that a new motor was being ordered, the original part number was replaced with the new part. I was told that it will take another month. I do not know if the part was examined by the manufacture. I my odometer was at 45,000. I was concerned while driving to the dealer that I would lose all power.
The HVBJB subassembly in ALL Ford Mach-e vehicles has known defects with 'under-designed' main contacts that are known to fail under normal charging and driving conditions as outlined in current open Ford recall notice. Unfortunately, the internal damage to contactors is not visible externally, and warning notices on display only AFTER the damage has occurred, and can result in sudden loss of propulsion power at highway speed, loss of power steering, and power brakes... and failure of other 12v systems due to failure to charge the 12v battery properly after contacts are damaged. Less catastrophic results can include failure to start; which can 'strand' driver's and passengers in remote areas, bad weather conditions, as well as cause loss of use for weeks due to delays in replacement parts and local Dealerships needing equipment and training to effect removal/replacement of faulty unit with a new HVBJB having re-designed 'beefier' components. My complaint is that Ford's recall notice 22s41 is a software-only attempt to prevent future damage, and does not require removal of the part(s) which are KNOWN TO FAIL to be replaced with the re-designed components which are available, and have been used to repair failures under warranty. I have no way of inspecting the original equipment to evaluate current condition; and failure can result in sudden and unexpected loss of power, steering, and braking as well as potentially 'stranding me' in unsafe conditions unable to re-start my vehicle. I would like to see NHTSA strengthen the Ford recall to include both improved software AND removal/replacement of the HVBJB sub-assembly with the new 'beefier' parts.
Driving my Ford Mustang Mach-E has always been a source of joy, but a recent 250-mile road trip unveiled a concerning issue. The dashboard flashed an error message at least 10 times, warning of "Service Front Camera" and "Pre-Collision Assist Unavailable." Each occurrence led to the disengagement of the adaptive cruise control, stripping away my confidence that the car would automatically brake for vehicles ahead. This intermittent malfunction, combined with the unpredictability of its onset, has cast a shadow over my driving experience. It's deeply unsettling to be constantly reminded of potential risks, especially when relying on safety features that once felt so dependable. The trust I had in my car's safety systems is now tinged with apprehension.
On Friday 8/18/23 I was driving down a major freeway and my Mach-E jolted violently. I then received a "Stop Safely Now" and "Service Vehicle Soon" message. The vehicle lost all power at this time. Being on a very busy freeway my safety was at risk and I was luckily able to coast over to the right shoulder. The car refused to "start" after pulling over however the 12v battery did work so I was able to use accessories. Once towed to the dealer I was able to confirm a P0AA2 TSB code that indicated that a conductor was stuck open on the high voltage junction box. This was supposed to be fixed by a previous recall software update that FORD uploaded to my car however that was not the case. I am now without a car for 2 weeks but more importantly I am concerned for the safety of other Mach-E drivers as I am reading that this can happen again even after a hardware fix.
Shortly after entering the freeway on August 18, 2023, my vehicle experienced a powertrain malfunction and displayed a Service Vehicle Soon warning light along with a vehicle with an exclamation point light and a wrench light. Motive power was reduced. I received a Diagnostic Test Code of P0ADA, indicating that there was a hybrid powertrain fault. The dealer has confirmed the code and is ordering a replacement part.
This is the second time they have to replace the HVBJB on my car . First time was on 9/2022 and now again on 8/16/2023. the car is in the shop for the same issue.
Ford delivered the car with only one key FOB which was corrected in later builds of the car. To fix this they had a program where you could go to your dealer to get the second key FOB for free. I set up an appointment to go to the dealer and was reassured that even though the date was after the expiration of the program I would still get the second key for free. When I went in I was told this was untrue and every Ford representative has told me that even though I was lied to they would not fix things for free as it should be with the program. Eventually I was told to contact nhtsa about this issue. I currently have to use my phone as a key which has become increasingly unreliable requiring my backup code often to be entered into the car even when my phone is on and has the Fordpass app open to act like a key. This has caused issues with when I shift out of drive or reverse that it places itself in park asking for the backup code to be entered again before I can continue driving.
Have multiple open recalls. Been trying to get Ford dealer to perform recall work for 4+ months. Dealers don't seem to want to do the work. Can't get them to reply to emails, text or return calls. Have stopped by dealer twice with appointments, but they either didn't order the parts or ordered wrong parts.
Ever since we bought the car in mid-2023, we have been getting "Front camera fault" and "Pre-Collision Assist not available" error messages, at first intermittent and now constant. The errors pop up every time we turn on the car, and sometimes while driving as well, which is distracting and annoying. In addition, the cruise control doesn't work at all, and these front camera and pre-collision assist functions (which are safety features of the car) do not work. We brought the vehicle to two dealers for this same problem well within the warranty period and neither was able to fix it. We have tried to get these errors fixed on multiple occasions with no luck so far. Hansel Ford of Petaluma has our car and is now telling us it will cost $2806.21 to replace the IPMA module to fix the problem, and that it is not covered under warranty. Ford has a TSB addressing the issue: TSB 23-2155. I have spoken with Ford Customer Care on multiple occasions asking for assistance and they have failed to provide any help. This issue is widely reported on Mach-E forums as a known and frequent safety issue.
Loss power, high voltage problem. On August 13 2023. On a road trip .
I had my 2021 Mustang Mach-E updated with the recall software last year. In July of 2022, my High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) still failed, giving me a service vehicle soon and SEVERELY reducing power WHILE driving. I was on the freeway and my car just started reducing speed since I was trying to pass someone and I almost hit them. I received the new HVBJB from my dealer and had been fine since. Then a couple of weeks ago, I received the errors AGAIN with this "new and improved" HVBJB that Ford said is more robust and not supposed to fail. Same thing, on the same freeway I commute (73 toll road in California). I was passing someone and the car hit me with all these errors and SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my power. Like 66% reduction. I had to get back into my lane and was able to get back a safe speed but you basically have no power to pass. This is unacceptable. I received the "new" part and yet get a failure AGAIN? On a normal commute, not at the track, accelerating to show off the EV acceleration, just DRIVING! Please make them fix this for real. My dealer said there was a new bulletin that came out after my first repair that has an updated part number, but it is not a true revised part, meaning the internals are actually differnt, it is more a housekeeping part number update due to something as simple as the sticker being in a different spot, some backend thing, etc. There has been no revision to the components that fail since they "fixed" the part back in 2022.
Did a DC Fast Charge at Electrify America in Astoria Oregon from 62% to 87%. Used wide open throttle to pass car on mountain climbs about 4 times with in about 30 minutes of charge. When accelerating on to Interstate 5 south received the Service Vehicle Soon warning - Ford App said stop and get car towed. Continued to drive for 22 miles and made it home. Charged car to 85% on Level 2 charger and drove it dealer on Sunday morning, no issues driving. Dealer had the car for one week and replaced the High Voltage Battery Junction Box and so far the car has been fine. Dealer provided a rental car at no cost their service was excellent. However, I thought it would be best to report this incident in light of the recent news.
Powertrain failure- reduced/loss of power High voltage battery warning- unsafe to drive
Pre collision assist and front camera malfunctions randomly. Dealer did a software update and has not resolved the issue. This happens at least once every time the vehicle is driven. It is out of warranty and will not be covered. This is a problem that plagues a significant amount of vehicles, I follow a mach-e group on social media and it’s a prominent issue. If you’re using blue cruise. The vehicle stops self driving abruptly.
The charging port on my Mach-E is failing. I am unable to change at the manufacture reported limit of 48 amps. If I try to charge my Mach-E at any rate higher than 32 amps, it will unexpectedly stop charging within 30 minutes, and only change the car 2% or 3% per charging session. Once I derate my EVSE to 32 amps, then my Mach-E can fully charge up to the 80% limit that I have set in the car within a single charge session. Several others have reported the same issue on the following forum post: [XXX] . It seems to be an issue with the temperature sensor in the charge port failing prematurely. I can confirm that the charging issue can occur outside of environmental factors like during a hot summer day. I usually charge during the late evening and at night, around 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., and the car always stops charging within 30 minutes. I have even charged successfully at a public L2 charger during the day when the charging cord handle was in direct sun light, and was hot to the touch. So the failure seems directly related to the charge rate. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The front camera system has failed. The cables need replacing, which was diagnosed by a Ford dealer. I have no collision assist, no cruise control, no lane keeping abilities, nothing that has to do with the camera in front. This is a known problem that Ford is not admitting to. All years of the Mach-E are having this issue, frequently. It has put myself and others on the road in danger by not being able to function as it should. Every time I turn the car on I get multiple warnings on the dash concerning these issues. This is not the only problem and safety issue I've had with this car in less than 9 months of owning it. Something must be done to hold Ford accountable.
Began to receive error messages stating "Front Camera Fault" and "Forward Collision Detection Fault". For a while it fixed on its own, then the messages started to become more and more frequent until now the error messages come up every time we turn on the car. With the malfunction that is happening with front camera and collision detection, it prevents cruise control from being used (which is adaptive) and forward collision warnings are not working/inactive. The lack of both of these systems presents a safety issue. The car has been taken to the local Ford dealership which has determined what needs to be replaced (the front camera and cables connecting the camera). However the parts must come from the Ford manufacturer and there is current no ETA that the dealership is being given for the parts to be delivered. When searching online for this issue, there are other owners that have experienced this and there is currently a TSB for this issue (TSB 23-2155).
Windshield loose adhesion from paint separation from primer. The Glass windshield in my car had a small chip occur while driving at 40 mph.. about 60 seconds later a crack appeared about 18 inch long lengthwise across the windshield. after being parked will ordering a new windshield the crack grew to 90 percent the horizontal width of the windshield. Later while having the windshield removed for replacement by the owner New View glass in a cool indoor environment we examined the windshield adhesive and found that the paint was peeling off from the primer where the glass adhesive attaches to the car. The strength of the paint or clear coat bond to the primer or car metal is not sufficient to hold in the glass as a structural part of the car body. I am a car dealer so have more windshields replaced that a normal person. It is very unusual to see this condition. I am aware that some 2021 Mustang mach e had a recall for this condition but this VIN was not included in that recall. Perhaps it should have been. The glue just peels off with the clear or paint
The contact owns a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E. The contact stated that while the wife was driving the vehicle and approaching oncoming traffic the vehicle was stopped. Immediately after stopping the pre-collision warning activated and the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration crashing into the rear of a second vehicle and pushing the vehicle nearly 50 feet into and across the street intersection. During the incident the driver sustained an injured neck, the front passenger sustained an injured neck and fractured left wrist. Both occupants required medical treatment. Also, the second vehicle's occupant sustained an unknown injury. No further information was available. A police report was taken at the scene and both vehicles were towed to an undisclosed location. The cause of the failure was not determined. The contact indicated that the vehicle's pre-collision warning system had been serviced prior to the incident. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 30,000.
I was driving on the highway (12) in Mandeville, Louisiana and the car (a 2021 all electric Mustang Mach E with only 13k miles) flashed a 'Stop care safely now' sign and then proceeded to power down within 3 seconds of the message. I exited (luckily I was at my exit) and felt the car lose power on the exit ramp. Three signals came up (battery - yet I was at 100% - then a turtle mode and not sure what the third symbol was) and then the car locked up - went into park, would not move or allow me to put into neutral to pull off a very busy highway ramp. I was forced to a dead stop on the ramp (very dangerous). I put on my hazard lights but cars still pilled up all around me, beeping etc. at high rates of speed. I called 911 and the police came out (took about 10 minutes during which time I had to direct traffic around me - again very dangerous) and asked that I move the car but the car would not move or even go into neutral. A DOTD tow truck towed me to a nearby Winn Dixie and then the roadside assistance towed to the Ford Dealer. The Ford Pass app send me the message attached below that said it was forcing a software update and the car would not be able to be used during this update - while the car was in drive and while I was driving it down a four lane highway! Very unsafe considering the car was connected to WIFI at home and that update could have been done at any time - not while driving. There was no notice prior to this that a software update was needed and we have it set for updates to happen at 1 am. The car relies upon software (not firmware) to run and if that fails, the car just locks up. This car should be recalled. I am lucky no one was injured including me trying to direct traffic on a busy high speed highway ramp. The policeman was very frustrated and made me get out of the car. Then the DOTD driver confirmed it would not budge. Thank God this didn't happen while I was in the middle of a 4 lane highway. It would have been like stopping on a train track.
For multiple months, a "front camera fault" warning would display while driving on the highway, usually while using cruise control or automatic steering. This would then suddenly kick off all driving features and the car would begin to drift, requiring driver intervention. The vehicle will also periodically slam on the brakes and warn of a forward collision, but when no cars were in front. This obviously nearly caused accidents multiple times, and still occurs. It has been taken to the dealer multiple times with no luck in fixing, and is now looking at eight thousand dollars to replace the wiring. This is a very common issue, and needs to be a recall to prevent other cars from getting into accidents.
There have been a large amount of complaints of the front safety camera failing on the 2021-2022 Mach E Mustang. My car along with many others have had the vehicle brought in for repairs that result in frequent returns for reoccurring failure of the camera.

Car seat “leather” burned/melted from mirror left in car for two hours. Outdoor temp was max 75° and windows are tinted from manufacturer. I am reporting because material is too flammable and worried if left longer would have started car fire.
I have been having an intermittent warning error saying my front camera is faulty and my lane assist is no longer operational. The error seemed to come and go with bumps. Here recently it has become permanent around the beginning of April 2023, and I no longer have functionality of many safety features including adaptive cruise control, regular cruise control, lane assist, crash prevention warning, automatic braking, or even regular cruise control (if I try to turn off the adaptive cruise in the settings regular cruise control still does not work), automatic bright lights don't work. I have been trying to get this resolved since I purchased the car but despite a dozen or so trips to the dealership I cannot seem to get it fixed. I've attached a screenshot of some of the dozens (hundreds?) of error messages I have received through the Ford app with the car, which note pre-collision assist is not available. It does not seem safe to have so many safety features non-operational.
Erratic behavior when semi-autonomous Blue Cruise engaged. Fault may be due to failures/malfunctions in side view mirror camera modules.
Pre-collision assist turns off randomly, This event disables the safety features. When in cruise control the brakes are applied.. This a happened at 65 mph. almost causing an accident. The dealer has tried many times to correct the problem and has been unable to. He has been in contact with ford and they cannot provide a repair. They are aware of the issue
All of the advanced safety features have stopped working in my Mach E The curse control does not work either the adaptive or the standard. The pre-collision system is not working, lane assit is not working. The absence of these working systems is a danger. Ford knows about this software problem with the software, however they refuse to fix the problem at there expense. The Mach E was designed from the ground up as software driven, the manufacture should be responsible to ensure that the software is up to date.
Unintended acceleration from a stop when pushing accelerator. Has happened 2 times in the last 2 days. I touched the throttle from a stop 2 time and it took off like I put the accelerator to full throttle (which I didn’t). Very dangerous situation in parking lots or around pedestrians. I have scheduled an apt with my local dealer.
I went to start the vehicle and it gave me a red warning "stop safely now". It was already stopped and would not start at all. It had plenty of charge on the battery pack. It's been at the dealer for nearly two weeks and they have had to order the HVJBC, I believe. I am fortunate that it didn't fail while driving or parked in a place which was inaccessible to a tow truck. The forum I read recommended making a report. This seems to be an all to common problem with this car and can lead to sudden acceleration or deceleration while in motion. Had had received an earlier yellow warning for "service vehicle soon" and took it to the dealership and they assured me they had updated all the software (in the hopes of preventing the "stop safely now" problem). Obviously, that didn't work.
I have been trying to get the 2 open recalls on my vehicle done since November 2021. Ford says my dealer is authorized to do the work however my dealer refuses to do the work as Ford will not reimburse the dealer fully as I was told the dealer has to outsource the work. The two other dealers here won’t do my car as I didn’t purchase my car with them. I have been talking to both Ford customer service and my dealer Windward Ford Hawaii and they both blame each other. IFord said the dealer should be able to do the work while the dealer says they can’t until they work out the payment from Ford. I just want the work done so my car is safe. I don’t think I am the only one in Hawaii that hasn’t had this recall work done yet…and it’s not for lack of trying. Please let me know if there is anything that can be done so that Mach-E drivers in Hawaii can get this recall work done.
Hood latch on vehicle failed. When opening hood to access the frunk (either thru manual hood release, or electronic release on car screen), hood unlocks halfway, and then is in a state where it can neither be opened or closed. Car has questionable safety once hood latch is in this state, as it is partially open and will not relatch. My car is currently at dealer for replacement of striker, hood latch, and actuator components under warranty.
The contact owns a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V412000 (Electrical System) however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the park safely warning light was illuminated and the vehicle stalled. Additionally, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.
Ford released an OTA update for the HVB issue Mach-E were having and leaving drivers stranded. I have seen that even with the update many people are still having the cars break down while driving and needing the High Voltage Battery Connector replaced. I am worried that this may happen to my car one day while driving and could cause an accident or death. Is there anyway to force Ford to fix every car that had this issue before we break down? The temporary fix of software is not good. I think FOrd should be forced to recall all Mach-E and replace the connector before there is an accident that leads to deaths on the road.
Stuck Disk Brake: The left rear disc brake was stuck. After releasing the parking brake the car would not move. After two attempts to reverse the brake released. There is a loud thumping sound from the rear wheel. While braking there is a violent vibration coming from the left rear wheel. The car is parked now and will be towed to a Ford Dealer. In the on-line Ford Mach-E forum there are other complaints about brakes being stuck with similar description as above. My car was last driven in wet weather and then parked in a garage. Temperatures at the time were cold but not freezing. The temperature at the time of incident was about 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This seems to be a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Collision Avoidance Camera Fault" was displayed, indicating a camera malfunction. The contact stated that the message was also present on the Mobile App. The contact also stated that the failure was a recurring failure and the camera had been replaced four times, and the vehicle was serviced several times for the failure. The manufacturer and local dealer were made aware of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 31,014.
Occasional blank/inoperative info screen, typically recovers after reset or re-start, but sudden loss of visibility of ALL settings and controls for heat, navigation, and most importantly loss of the ability to enter backup Start code for keyless start can cause possible stranding in dangerous conditions. Loss of control of heating/cooling could cause loss of visibility if defrost is unavailable, or heat stroke if air conditioning is unavailable. My understanding is that re-designed console screens are available to address this known defect in vehicles built prior to June 2022, but no recall has been issued.
Occasional failure of video signal from front camera located above rear view mirror causes Alert pop-up on main instrument display and loss of all Driver Assist feature that utilize the front camera such as: lane departure alert and adaptive cruise control.
While driving and hitting a bump I will get a message in the driver's display stating Forward collision assist unavailable. This causes almost all of the ADAS features to stop working including cruise control and blue cruise. This is very dangerous! There is a huge thread on this issue at the macheforum.com. The issue needs to be addressed by Ford Motor Company in a recall.
Forward collision warning constantly going on. Brought it for service and told them but still going on
The mach e has a front trunk. I have seen several posts about the front latch failing which includes the emergency release should a child or smaller adult get stuck in the frunk. My mach e did this to me today. As a result I was also forced to drive with the frunk half open to get my car back home until I can get it serviced.
After latest software updates, the Mustang MachE gets stuck in the guest profile regularly. These profiles are responsible for controlling driver aids, one pedal driving, etc. When stuck, my vehicle removes one pedal driving and the car moves unexpectedly. One pedal driving holds with no break, this is removed and the car creeps when break removed, this nearly caused the car to crash through the garage. This could injure people in parking lots, etc. There are many other driver aids controlled by the profile which could unexpectedly get disabled. I have personally figured out how to reset and recognize this after nearly crashing the car into the garage, but Ford has issued no communications to their customers on how to recognize and revert when this issue occurs. When manufactures issue over the air updates, the need to be responsible for communicating issues and workarounds to their customers directly. The dealers (any my dealer) have been useless about any software bug and just state, wait for ford.
HVBJB failure. Was replaced by dealership still concerned that may fail any type of long-distance driving I'm concerned it may fail while I'm on the highway as once it's been driving for an hour and warm by the fact the fans are always on. I think there should be more done to solve this issue also known is the fact that they are promoting a performance edition vehicle with the same drivetrain basically as the eco-friendly entry-level car which two may have an issue with heat set the more you hit the accekerator the more the connectors heat up and chance for failure and the software feature did not help the car I drove. And as refuse to run when it failed all together . [XXX] did receive the required recall software update which did not stop me from failing on November 24, 2022 the car with the dealer getting the high-voltage capacitor replaced to this day we do not drive the vehicle anywhere other than around town. We are free this component will fail again and cost us greatly. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
After receiving the remedy to NHTSA campaign 22V-412 on Aug 5, 2022 via a Ford Power-Up over-the-air update, my high-voltage battery contactors still overheated and failed on Oct 25, 2022, requiring warrantied replacement by my Ford dealer on Oct 27, 2022.
HVBJB failure, vehicle lost power and threw an error “stop safely now”; will not drive
The Adaptive Cruise Control will arbitrarily reduce speed for no apparent reason. This has happened on several instances. Sometimes the vehicle just slows down and other times the brakes are suddenly applied. The vehicle speed has been suddenly reduced by 20 MPH on a busy 65MPH road in rush hour. No accident occurred. Vehicle was in service just this past month. All updates were entered and several flaws were corrected. Problem has continued up to and including this morning. No warning lamps or collision avoidance alarms were triggered.
Starting approximately in June 2022, my vehicle receives almost daily faults. It will generate a "Front Camera Fault" and a "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available" message. When the car generates these faults, the following other features will fail to work: Adaptive Cruise Control, Normal Cruise Control, Automatic headlights, Lane Centering, Pre-collision warning. I brought the vehicle into two separate dealers on two separate occasions to address the problems. Both times, parts were replaced, software was updated / reset, and camera systems were re-aligned. None of these efforts have even made the problem any better. The fault will sometimes appear when first starting the vehicle. But, sometimes the fault will appear at highway speeds which causes the car to disengage cruise control suddenly which is jarring and unexpected.
