Parking sensor faults

[wenklaw]

Over the last month or so ive been having an intermittent 'Parking Sensor Malfunction' error message on the dash, went in to Ford who cleaned a connector, seemed to fix it but less than a week later the error returns intermittently. The sensors will then work for a week then die again, rinse and repeat, today they are working and no error message. Its booked in again on Wednesday but i fear they will clean the connections again and the fault will return. The problem I have is the cars warranty is up in May so I am concerned if they don't replace something I am going to be left with a bill when the cars out of warranty, although I would argue the case that they have never fully resolved the problem.

Anyone else had the same or similar ? if so did they replace the sensors?

Error codes as follows
B1B838(08) right front inner sensor
B1B838(96) right inner sensor component failure

FWIW Ford replaced the front right hand side parking sensor. We shall see!!!

Off to a PDR place now to see how much two minor door dents will cost to remove. I’ve had more third party damage this car than any other FFS.
