Blind-Spot and Cross Traffic Faults

[BauerPWR]

Since about 1000 miles, every week or so I have intermittently received an error on my dash regarding both my Blind-Spot and Cross Traffic systems. It goes away on its own but will show up at unusual times while driving and will constantly alert me about every 30 seconds. I took to the Dealer which they held it for 4 days inspecting it and unfortunately they weren’t able to replicate the error. They were able to see that it had come up multiple times (and saw my videos of it happening) but since they weren’t able to run diagnostics while it was occurring, there was “nothing they could do” and “bring it in immediately next time it happens.” Unfortunately their techs only work 9-5pm (M-F) and I drive mostly going to and from work (both times they aren’t open for service) and I’m getting fed up with getting the run around. I tried another dealer but they wouldn’t provide a loaner vehicle since I didn’t purchase my vehicle from them and I called Ford customer service which wasn’t helpful. Not sure if any of you had similar issues or suggestions for getting it repaired.

Can you unplug the sensor, or light its in, amd reseat the plug? Maybe it just needs to be wiggled amd reseated?

Is it happening in cold and wet weather? My front sensors fault in these conditions.

Same thing happens to mine. Very annoying for a new vehicle. Haven’t taken it in yet.

Mine has been like that since I got it. The dealer says there is no error report so there’s nothing they can do. It of course never does it at dealer. It’s mostly the front right that does it.

From what the dealer indicated from the error report they saw, it was certainly coming from the left taillight. I had them fix my “paint chip” issue above the taillight in which they took off the light entirely and reinstalled it. That side was definitely looser before (when compared to the other) and now after it was reinstalled it feels rock solid like the right. I was hoping that was the problem but about 3 or 4 days later I had the same issue. I also thought it might have something to do with a car wash but since I haven’t washed it for a couple weeks, I can definitively say that’s not the case.
