Car repaired after accident but has faults

[MachBookE]

Hey guys my car was repaired after an accident, but it still has warnings, being pre collision assist not available, and hill start assist not available.

What will I have to do here? Do I accept the car and go through Ford to fix these issues? Or ask the collision shop to fix the issues first

They should have programmed or calibrated the ADAS system and sound like they didn't. Have the dealer/repair shop get the car calibrated.

You should NOT accept the car. You should tell the shop, and your insurance company, that the car is not repaired properly. It's THEIR responsibility to FINISH the job.

We work with a body shop next door and they send us vehicles to be re-calibrated after body work all the time. Call the shop that did the repairs and tell them the lights are still on. I'm honestly surprised they gave it back to you as is, those lights are hard to miss.
Not sure how your insurance/coverage works, but here, the re-calibration is part of the repair and is billed to the insurance claim (assuming there is one) Hope that helps!
