“Backing out of the garage then stopping for a minute and putting it in park then in drive afterwards I forgot there was a car behind me in my driveway. After looking in my side mirrors i saw nothing. I hit the vehicle behind me. With the radio on and playing music at no time did the radio lower in sound and the avoidance system sound off. If the avoidance system sounded off the music was louder. I hit the vehicle behind me. I guess i should have turned my head to check behind me but if the sounds were going off it might have helped me to avoid this. …”

The contact received a notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V124000 (Back Over Prevention), and the recall repair was subsequently performed. However, after the recall repair was completed, a new 'overheating' warning appeared on the infotainment system.

“The rear parking sensors (all of them) stopped working. Whenever the vehicle is placed in reverse a warning message is displayed on the dash. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealer and it turns out a wire was damaged in the rear wiring loom. This was most likely due to physical damage from something hitting the wiring loom behind the right rear tire. It seems that this is poor placement/protection of the wiring loom, especially considering that this is an 'off road' vehicle (Bronco). The dealership refused to fix the problem under warranty stating that it was due to 'external' damage.”
