Vehicle stopped receiving traffic info on navigation screen. All other data received via "sync" system from sirius operating correctly. Dealer replaced computer module they identified as controlling this function. No change in condition. Problem escalated to Ford tech people. A month ago, the radio functions failed. It required a system upgrade.

While driving on the highway at about 65mph, the sync system screen went black, after about 5 minutes, the system came back up. I was utilizing the navigation system at the time and was forced to stop, re-enter the details of the location I was intending to visit. The sync system should never just restart itself without warning a driver. I am concerned there is a more severe problem with the main control system with this particular vehicle as three other issues happened within a week of each other. 1. blib module (blind spot and cross traffic sensors faulted and needed replacement) 2. sync system reboots itself while driving and utilizing navigation 3. low pressure error pops up, steering becomes impossible, acceleration dies, and braking sluggish. Car required shutdown and restart to resolve.

While driving the highway to my home, the blind spot and cross traffic sensors faulted. The warning messages came on and I took the car in for service to the dealership. They informed me it was a faulty blib module and would need to be replaced. For a two month old car, there seem to be an abnormal number of faulty components. This could pose a safety hazard if people rely on the blind spot and cross traffic sensors to alert them of close cars or on coming cars while reversing.
