While traveling at highway speed on i-95 north around 10am, the vehicle brake quickly and abruptly activated which reduced the vehicle speed by 15-20 mph. Within seconds, the vehicle returned to previously set speed with adaptive cruise activated. This incident occurred while passing a tractor trailer truck. The truck was in the center lane and i was passing on the far left lane. As i started to pass the truck, the brake activated when within 10-20 feet of the truck for a moment then returned to previously set speed (75 mph). This happened so quickly and unexpectedly, i did not notice any warning indicators on the dash display. Fortunately there were no vehicles closely behind me so there was little risk of an accident this time! Due to this incident, i have not used adaptive cruise since nor have i taken the vehicle to a dealer.

Forward collision warning, dynamic brake support and automatic emergency braking do not work and the driver menu to to turn on/off and or adjust settings is inaccessible. Although not part of nhtsa recall #20v-262 issued in may 2020, my vehicle matches the exact vehicle configuration and problem(s) outlined in the recall documentation. The vehicle was brought to the dealership on 6/16/2020 where ford claimed the vehicle did not have any of the aforementioned safety systems and therefore had no issue. [see attached paperwork dated 6/16/2020] after 1 entire month of back and forth, the dealership subsequently acknowledge the vehicle does indeed have the safety features and they need to further investigate with no commitments made on solution and or timeline. [see attached email dated the issue was spurred by a near miss collision when the systems did not activate.

The power running board on the passenger side is malfunctioning. Twice it has opened and then started shutting with the door open and my child's good on it, almost closing with their foot in it. I have taken it to the dealer but they could not replicate the issue. I am taking it in again next week. The vehicle was not turned on and was in park.

We are only doing pickup orders as we have had covid. We park our vehicle and turn the vehicle off and open the lift gate while waiting for the delivery to be placed in the back of the vehicle. Once delivery is complete, lift gate will only close a few inches and the horn beeps twice. This happens over and over again until we get out and close the lift gate manually. Our local dealer we just purchased the vehicle from has tried to fix this issue, however, ford has advised us that the vehicle has to be either kept running, or turned on to close the lift gate. After trying this process, our sons in the 3rd row have been getting nauseous from the fumes. Ford also states in the user manual that the lift gate should be fully closed to prevent fumes from entering the vehicle. We have videos of the lift gate stopping and horn beeping that we can not send but are available if we are contacted.
