This new crap behavior just happened to me this past Saturday 12/21/24. About jarred my wife out of her seat and dog from back seat to front seats. Some dangerous Sh*t FORDā¦.!!I've been using adaptive cruise control on relatively limited access 35 to 45 mph "country" roads in San Antonio. The cruise control maintains my speed and lane, even going around gentle, even curves.
Today, I was driving a perfectly straight one-mile or so stretch of 45 mph road with no traffic around me. Out of the blue, I get a KEEP HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL message. Both hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, and I moved them and gripped the steering wheel slightly differently just to give the monitoring system new feedback. KEEP HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL persisted. Then I got RESUME CONTROL with beeping, IIRC. I thought, "Oh, well. I've been through this before. The system will cancel, and I'll just take over driving." Instead, RESUME CONTROL continued, followed by two hard, short automatic braking pulses. I thought, "That was weird," but I did nothing. Then, two more hard pulses of automatic braking. I tapped the brakes. Cruise control messaging and misbehavior disappeared, and I manually drove the rest of the way home.
Today was a great day for driving a Ford EV. Weird, unsafe, unmerited behavior from FORD cruise control and flaky charging behavior from Ford servers, courtesy of iOS FordPass, v5.9: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...-time-doesnt-work-in-ios-fordpass-v5-9.23501/
@Ford Motor Company, I hope, as well as handing out plaudits for pretty Lightning pictures and accounts of fun road trips that you report owner problems back to Ford designers and programmers and encourage them to make their expensive stuff actually work right eventually if "to begin with" is too much to hope for.
It seems the automatic lane centering turning itself on every time now Iām only guessing part of the BC 1.4 I recently received. Consequently Iām now turning lane centering off when using adaptive cruise control and when not using BC 1.4 on the interstates. Letās just say itās a million miles from just a nag. Itās violent. Why not just turn off out cruise control vs this Sh*t behavior FORD. I dare someone else to try this going 70+mph with cars behind you and beside you. VERY Dangerous software behavior.
ā¦Perhaps I should use the feedback system in the truck to report it Iāve been advised.
