Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
While using the Ford BlueCruise system the Eye Detection monitor is not detecting that I am looking forward while driving and frequently goes first to the "Watch the Road" initial warning, which is supposed to clear by pressing the OK button on the steering wheel. Several times clicking the OK does not clear the initial warning and then the vehicle goes into a more active response by suddenly braking with the Resume Control warning which is supposed to deactivate when you press the gas pedal, however in one instance the system did not deactivate and I was nearly rear ended by another vehicle who also had to brake suddenly due to my vehicle not exiting the ADAS system takeover. I have since disabled the BlueCruise system while waiting for the vehicle to be brought to service.
