“1. I am complaining about my back up alarm sensors. I have had about 5 incidents in which I have received false positives when nothing is behind me. At work while backing out, the system will sound and go crazy. 2. I have not had any accidents with this malfunction to date. I just do not trust the product that was purchased with my car 3. I took my car to mossy Ford in san diego on october 18, 2005. Made the complaint and they said that everything checked out good.
