  1. Yup, I can still use the hazards and the lights still flash when using the key to lock and unlock. Nope, didn't replace anything as far as I was told and it still isn't fixed. Was originally going back next week again so they can attempt to fix it but looks like it'll be going back sooner as not only is it illegal to drive without turn signals, but we also have rain in the forecast for the upcoming few days.
  2. I'm not sure if this should come as a surprise to some of you, but now there is yet ANOTHER thing wrong with my car. First it was the Active Park Assist which the dealer still has not fixed. Ford Self Parking Car FAIL - Active Park Assist Now, however, all of a sudden my turn signals, high beams, windshield wipers, and all steering wheel controls have stopped working out of nowhere. This is getting ridiculous. Ford Fusion Turn Signals, Windshield Wipers + more FAIL
  3. Yeah, my mom has a 2013 Focus Ti with the Active Park Assist and hers parks perfectly every single time. Not once have I ever seen that car mess up. It goes back and forth a million times if it has to to straighten out the car. This was the dead giveaway that mine isn't working properly.
  4. Correct. Considering my car still has parking sensors all around and a backup camera with guidance lines, parking it myself is quite easy. However, the fact that I paid extra for a feature that doesn't work correctly does not sit well with me, especially because it's one of the features that attracted me towards the car in the first place.
  5. Nope to the first one, yes to the second. It's done this since the first month I've had it.
  6. According to the dealership, they've already tested each sensor individually and each one is functioning correctly. After this, they replaced the parking control module. The 2nd video was taken minutes after picking up the car from the dealership after replacing the module.
  7. Parking on the left side never causes it to do this, only the right. And it does this frequently in a wide variety of parking spots, hence why I'm able to catch it on video so frequently/easily.
  8. Correct, the car was stopped because it steered into the curb and the curb was holding it from rolling further backwards.
  9. I'm just venting some of my frustrations as well as looking to get some feedback from some of you guys. I have a 2014 Ford Fusion that has Ford's Active Park Assist feature which is supposed to parallel park the car completely for you. It takes over the steering while you control the pedals and follow the car's instructions (remove hands from steering wheel, shift to reverse, shift to drive, etc.) until the car is done and perfectly (or so they say) parallel parked. My car does park itself correctly, occasionally. The majority of the time, this is what it does: Here's where my frustration comes in. I've taken it into the dealerships (2 different dealers) 4 separate times. They've updated all the software, tested all the sensors, even replaced the parking control module, and at this point in time have had me come pick up the car because they don't know what else to do to fix it, leaving me with a car that doesn't function properly. While some of you probably might say "first world problems" to this, this feature was one of the main things that attracted me to this car and I gladly paid extra for the option. On top of that, I truly think it's a huge safety concern. Active Park Assist requires the driver to relinquish control of the steering to the car and in my car's case, it hits curbs, stops when it's clearly not finished (leaving the car halfway into traffic), and on multiple occasions has tried to hit the car in front of me. If I hadn't intervened during those occasions, it would've scraped the cars quite badly. If someone other than myself drives the car (valet, family, etc.) and doesn't know the feature is not working properly (as the car displays no fault codes, error messages etc. as the car thinks everything is working properly), there is a huge liability and safety risk for other vehicles, my vehicle, and as well as those driving/in my car and we all know who the fault would end up on if something like that happened (hint: not Ford). If anyone has any advice/feedback/comments or has even possibly dealt with something similar, your feedback would we welcome as I'm losing my patience with this car (I haven't even mentioned any of the other problems with it).
  10. It also reduces pinging noises when the tires kick up loose rocks/gravel/pebbles/etc. All of our previous/current Mercedes have had the felt lining in the wheel wells. While it's difficult to clean, I'd personally choose the extra hassle for a quieter ride.
