I got a $600 windshield warranty that replaces up to 5 windshields in 5 years when I bought my Jaguar. I wonder if Ford offers something similar. It’s more than paid for itself.

Lane keep assist is part of co-pilot 360 which comes with the Mid package, you are probably thinking of evasive steering assist that comes on the Lux package.Is there lane keeping assist in the High package? I had it in my mind you only got that at the Lux level…
Yup that’s what I’m doing before I get my broncoNo new news here. I just replaced my windshield today in my Badlands with High package, Co-Pilot 360 and lane keeping assist. It was $1,300. Required static and dynamic calibration of the sensors. Took 4 hours start to finish. I dropped my Comprehensive deductible to $250 to make the hit less painful on the next go around.
That stinks. Some of these features will hurt paying to repair down the road. Hopefully you can just use regular glass and disable the feature, without failing some local test. I read some new equipment might soon be required, to check for drunk driving. Man when all this stuff eventually has issues, could be a mess and expensive.So I just found out if I have to replace my Windshield, the current cost is about $1000+
I have the lane keeping / Co-Pilot 360 (Bronco steers back to middle of lane)...this also requires recalibration with new replacement.
So you may immediately want to get your window cracks repaired as soon as they happen to avoid this type of cost.
if someone already posted this..apologies..I couldn’t find it.
Thanks for bursting my bubble, I was hoping this was only a Lux expense. I don't even want lane keeping, I wonder if it can be disabled in Forscan to skip the new cameras and calibration.No new news here.

I thought they were one and the same. Thanks for the clarification.Lane keep assist is part of co-pilot 360 which comes with the Mid package, you are probably thinking of evasive steering assist that comes on the Lux package.
I don' have it enabled. You need to push the button to turn it on. It will require both hands on the wheel and I don't keep both on the wheel. Not bad driving, just bad habits from manuals.Can you turn it off?
<edit> can if be set to off as the default?
Thanks
Which is why I didn’t want the lane departure warning in the first place. I wanted the other goodies that came with the high package so it is what it is. Expensive windshields to be sure.Along the same lines, recently had some tires and alignment done on one of my cars. The tire guy mentioned similar things.
When it come times to pay for an alignment, it gets more expensive because they have to recalibrate all that stuff as well to pair up with the new alignment.
Am I understanding this correctly, so just for a simple tire alignment you have to recalibrate the cameras?Camera Alignment
Camera alignment is required for the lane keeping alert and lane keeping aid to function correctly. The procedure is initiated using the diagnostic scan tool and requires about 10 minutes of driving above 64 km/h (40 mph) on a flat, straight road with highly visible lane markings to complete.
NOTE: Avoid lane crossing, excessive steering angle changes or sudden change in vehicle speed during the camera alignment process.
NOTE: The alignment completion is indicated on the diagnostic scan tool. If the alignment is unsuccessful, check the IPMA for proper installation.
NOTE: The FRONT CAMERA MALFUNCTION - SERVICE REQUIRED message in the IPC disappears when the system is aligned.
The IPMA camera alignment procedure should be performed when any of the following occur:
All good replacement windshields come with a bracket and alignment pins,and you reuse the camera module.
- Windshield replacement
- Change in tire size
- Suspension repair or alignment
- Front air bag deployment
