kevin_ramoutar Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hey guys, i have a 2020 Escape Titanium and ever since i've picked up the vehicle, the right blind spot is acting up. It prematurely detects that there is a vehicle in my blind spot when there is no vehicle around. Its been to the dealership for software updates that the engineers hoped will fix the issue but its been unsuccessful. I find that its a safety hazard because i can be switching lanes and it will start flashing thinking a vehicle is there. Has anyone had any luck getting this problem fixed?

akirby Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sounds like a bad sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine trips the oncoming vehicle alert when I'm backing out of the driveway and I'm passing by the house. It's also been known to trip just by shifting into reverse.

Blind spot, not cross traffic alert. different sensors I believe. This is the one that flashes the light in the side mirror when it detects traffic alongside the vehicle when moving forward.

kevin_ramoutar Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 That's what I'm beginning to think, it could be a faulty radar sensor. But Ford engineers have not told the dealership to replace it as yet. i don't know what other software fix they are waiting on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is when im driving, its thinking a vehicle is in the blind spot and it lights up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughters Titanium 2.0L is a June build and both blind spot and cross traffic seem to be working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
