Steering wheel and adaptive cruise issues

[vegaz]

We already took her on a short road trip and the whole way had issues with the steering wheel alerting to keep hands on the wheel, even though they were. Then the adaptive cruise control would shut off. Was rather frustrating. Anyone else have any issue? After the trip we are at 750 miles, just a 1st 1,000 miles bug?

Very Limited trips but have not experienced any issues with ACC shutting off....on the other hand learning that it warns you to keep hands on wheel...did not know it did that....huh (@ 2,500+)

Yep, seems as if it wants you to drive a hard 10 & 2 the entire drive. Have the same feature on my 2015 Fusion but have never a problem with it. Im not sure if its standard on the Tremor or if it came as part of the Co-Pilot Assist Package.

I only get the hands on wheel alert when the lane assist feature is active. The steering wheel expects to have some feedback from the driver, so if I just move the steering wheel a little bit, the alert goes away. My guess is that if you don't get rid of the warning, maybe the ACC turns off? I may try it on the drive home tonight and see.

yeah, you need to give it a little feedback once in a while. The hands free is hands free but both rides the right side of the lane a bit close for my comfort while passing semis. Also, I'm pretty sure my truck is drunk.

was having to turn on the turn signal to get it to realize I am awake.

That hands free is trippy
