Hello,
I see that others have had Hill Start Assist and Pre-Collision Warning errors but I didn't see any instances of this happening after pushing the Trail Assist button.
It happen to me so I turned the Bronco off and then started it again, still errors.... The Cruise Control also did not work...
The errors cleared by the next morning so I scheduled service for Bronco (was 2 weeks out...), parked bronco, took rental car out west for 2 weeks.
Now for the concerning part: On our way back the service department called me and suggested since the errors cleared that it probably wouldn't be anything they could do but still offered to look at it. This Bronco is my first new car and my first Ford ever. The dealership has been amazing to work with and I have recommended them to anyone who will listen but have others had a service department try and talk you out of looking into an error on a new car?
I am retired from 25 years of IT and one of the things I always attempted first was root cause analysis, provided the system wasn't down. I also tried not to prejudge an issue until I looked at the logs, data or procedure that created the error. Based upon the initial feedback from the service department I assume they don't have data or logs they can look at to troubleshoot a problem like this, is this true?
I welcome any thoughts or suggestions,
Travis
