How could this explain folks getting it fixed sometimes multiple times, only to have it reappear literally hours after? Seems more complicated than just a broken part. And, why suddenly have it happen to so many cars just about the same time BC software was sent out?
Obviously, it seems that packets are getting corrupted between the camera and the ACC module. I don't know how many bit system Ford uses, but each bit is timed and is an on/off. So, the path it has to travel in a car may not be optimal with the necessary build and service connections and possible electromagnetic interference for clean data transfer. So, if code gets corrupted, Problems occur. And, they can be hard to find. Intermittent problems are often a guessing game vs. a hard open or short. This is not something I would wish on any engineer. Even ones I dislike.
Can you share contact details? Perhaps the more that complain the more attention we can get on this
Just wanted to update after this second "fix". The morning after getting the car back, the Front Camera Fault re-appeared and stuck the entire way to our weekend destination approximately 1 1/2 hours of driving. The next day, the fault cleared and stayed off for the entire trip back. Since then, the fault has appeared again temporarily. It appears as though the two "fixes" from my trips to the dealer service has restored the problem from being always-fault, back to temporary fault like how the problem initially started back in, June.
Yep. After 1st fix with new module, faults started back up intermittently. None going to work in morning but returning home in afternoon, every 1-2 min! Maybe temperature related? Funny, mine started in June/July too. I think an update screwed it all up. Hopefully it'll be fixed by Friday by Ken Grody techs! If not, they put me into a Raptor Lightning!
My 2021 Select AWD (delivered Jan 2022) does not have BC, and I’ve been getting Front Camera Fault errors since April 2022. After several software rebuilds and module updates the problem hasn’t gone away. I’m taking her in on Monday for FCF repair #4 - the last repair lasted two days. I will say looping Ford corporate into the process has made things go much smoother with my local dealer (they have been great).
Do you have the BC Prep Pkg with the driver-facing camera box on top of steering wheel? I believe it was optional on Selects.
Yes, BC was optional for 2021-22 Select trim MachE’s, and my car does not have the BC Prep pkg. My Select has the now-extinct Comfort/Appearance package.Do you have the BC Prep Pkg with the driver-facing camera box on top of steering wheel? I believe it was optional on Selects.
I should probably do the same if this 2nd and 'final' fix doesn't work. I love the BC but the last time it unexpectedly kicked off, I was doing 65-ish in #2 lane and vehicle decelerated. This actually is a significant safety defect of the system in 1PD. (One time the car swerved.) Ford needs to throw every available engineer on this straightaway. By the way, I totally LOVE my GT and wish it was 100% functional again!
