STBEAST Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 (edited) I have 2024 ST with just over 10 thousand miles. While on a trip I was driving with the adaptive cruise control engaged, when out of nowhere the system deactivated followed by a string of alerts in the message box on the dash: cruise control not available, ABS system disabled, traction control disabled and hill start assist not available. Three warning lights illuminated (ABS, Brake and Traction Control). I pulled over and shut the vehicle off, waited a minute and restarted it. Everything went back to normal. About an hour later the same thing happened. The vehicle drives like normal when this happens. I drove to my hotel for the night and the next day all was well, for about 2 1/2 hours. It did it again and since the car drives like everything is ok, I finished my trip. I am still under warranty, and I have contacted the dealer for an appointment. I also got a string of 3 messages on my Ford Pass App, multiple times. One of them alludes to the fact that the Anti-Lock Brake Module may have failed. Just curious if anyone has encountered this. I don't have a lot of faith in my dealer, and I think the more I know, the better off I am. Thanks so Much. Sorry for the dash pic upside down.

omar302 Posted Saturday at 06:36 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:36 AM I got something similar recently on my 2016 Edge Sport. But it was during a U-turn. Turning the engine off then on got everything back working. Checking for codes, I found a C0034:15-28 for Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor. Seems the something messed with the sensor reading during the turn and hence caused all the faults, ABS, ESP, etc. Since they all rely on the sensors to work correctly.

STBEAST Posted Saturday at 05:06 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:06 PM omar302 that's interesting because I thought about the same thing. With all these sensors on the new vehicles, all it would take is a small glitch in the system to cause confusion and chaos. This could easily trigger false alarms and warnings. The fact that I could shut of the vehicle and re start it, would set everything back to normal tells me there is no major issue. Two common denominators, it was light rain, and I was using the adaptive cruise control when it happened. I haven't taken it back to the dealer yet, and I drove it the other day around town with no issues. Interesting when you go on YouTube and see all the videos of new technology vehicles (pretty much all brands) experiencing electrical glitches. The downside is when you take it back to the dealer, they tell you that they could not find an issue, and everything is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeidiot Posted Monday at 06:02 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:02 AM Yes, your car IS a computer on wheels. The more things that are electronically controlled are also more things that can glitch. I used to work for a manufacturer of coffee brewers for convenience stores and the first thing we told customers with machine problems was to turn off and turn back on the machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Back when I worked in a SAAB dealership, some of the cars were plagued with some strange happenings. One involved a certain area in Boston MA. The others, random happening all over the US. The common denominator was they all started after being towed back to the dealerships. No problem found!! The problems were found to be not enough RF shielding. The Boston problem was found to be the antennas for the radio and TV stations were located where the car conked out. The others were found to be at "radio controlled" intersections. If the car was stopped there, it was towed from there. But, if the light was green, the car only sputtered it's way through the intersection. These were the early days of Bosch EFI. So with all of the "computers" in all of the vehicles, "No problem found" will continue, So, it's best to turn it off and restart and smile because you know more than a whole bunch of Technicians. Because it's poor or not enough RF shielding and YOU got glitched! DE KI6FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
