Good point to remember!You have to turn the collision feature ON while parked. It doesn't come on automatically in my settings. So If it wasn't turned on via the menu...it's not functioning. Same with lane assist.. mine has a button on the side of lever..
So sad. I was rear-ended in Nashville when returning from vacation in Florida on March 24th. My XLT just had 2,400 miles. I have an appointment for May 23 for the dealer body shop. Any good body shop is backed up anymore. I'm glad you did not have any serious injuries.
I would think Ford would have to supply replacement parts even for a first edition for at least 10 years.My guess is their decision to accelerate and steer away from the vehicle probably caused the system to not apply the brake and instead only precharge the brakes incase. Bad part is even though the Jeep driver made stupid decision likely the Maverick driver will at minimum share blame if not take blame depending on the state and if the Jeep got citied for anything. This is likely the first totaled first edition with how difficult it is to get parts and the likely structural damage to the left front. Its unlikely insurance is going to rent a vehicle for months waiting for the parts and the FE hood emblem is probably gone for good with it even if they opt to repair it.
At this distance he was fucked. Clearly in the lane. OP tried to evade at the last moment total fault of the jeep being a tool.The Jeep clearly darts over at the last second and blocks the lane of traffic. This, along with the Jeep driver lying to police, should lead to her insurance company investing whether or not this was an attempt at insurance fraud.
I emphasized very early to my kids( before they got their drivers license) to “ALWAYS EXPECT DRIVERS AROUND YOU TO DO SOMETHING INCREDIBLY STUPID !!!” and you will have a few more seconds to avoid an impact. JATLOL @ "tens of thousands of miles". Drive a few more 'tens of thousands of miles' and experience will teach you that when in doubt it's always best to hit the brakes and slow it down.
Let us know when you hit your first 100k.
Sometime around then you'll learn the rule of the road is 'expect the unexpected'.
