What owners wrote

After about 6,000 miles we began to notice that the right hand side blis sensor and signal light indicating a vehicle is in the blind spot when no vehicle or other object are within the area. Often the light will remain on for several minutes. Additionally, occasionally started to give false warnings when no cross traffic was in the area. Now vehicles can be as close as five feet before the cross traffic alert will signal traffic. Upon original purchase the cta worked as described.

The driver's side inside door handle failed to open the door to allow egress. It hangs out limply on its hinges not engaging the door latch. To open the door, the window has to be rolled down and the outside door handle pulled up as though entering the vehicle. This problem was the subject of a prior recall several years ago and this very same inside door handle was repaired by a ford dealer.
