The crash warning will flash in red on the dash. Mine goes off mostly when people are turning right for some reason. The BLISS is just the orange dot on the mirrors which I wish they had the option for a beep that could be switched on/off.
This truck definitely has some safety features I feel I don't need. I own shirts that have a warning on the label "Do Not Iron While Wearing". Ford Lawyers must attempting to mitigate lawsuits from the same people who need these type of warnings. (sarcasm)
I think the problem is that the vibration intensity is a subjective thing. Even set to high, it may not be vigorous enough for someone used to working with a jack-hammer all day or something like that. Nor does it shake as intensely as rumble strips. But for those of us with soft delicate hands and weak arms, it's noticeable.
And wouldn't you know it, I have one of those as well!
guess you aren’t reading what I am writing. Unless you are intentionally trying to go over the line and paying very close attention, you may feel a slight couple of shakes. It could be the road it is so subtle. If I am not paying attention waiting for the alert and just driving, normally I never, ever, get a rumble or shake. It may as not be there.
And our point is that some of us feel it very clearly and find it to be quite noticeable. So either there's something wrong with your truck, you have less sensitive hands/arms, or Ford's system is subpar to the ones you're used to and/or what you want. That's why I said it's a subjective thing. It's perfectly fine and vigorous for some of us, but not for others.
And I am saying it is not working right for quite a few of us. OP pretty much said the same thing. Dealer says it isn’t working but can’t find any fault codes when running a diagnostic. dealer said many other Ranger owners have come in with the same issue.
when everyday driving there shouldn't be a shudder unless you're driving drunk or something
The general experience with dealers on this forum is that they don't know what they're talking about and tell you anything to get rid of you and/or just whatever you want to hear.
I understand what you're saying, I always have. I know it's frustrating to feel like something is wrong and have no one believe you or tell you what to do about it. I'm just trying to go about it logically. I don't know how to fix it, and I don't pretend to. I just know that mine vibrates when I cross over a line in alert+aid mode, so I know that's a thing that happens, and I was just listing out the options for what it could be if you don't feel it. Maybe there's something wrong with your truck (electrical and programming issues are very hard to find, diagnose, and fix) or maybe you (or anyone else) don't understand the system. It could be either. I don't know you, I don't know your life or your understanding of the truck's functions. I never said explicitly that you were the cause (@RANGER PRIDE did, but he's notorious at trying to rile people up with his humor style haha), I merely offered it as an option. I just know that a lot of times on here people mistake a wrong setting, or having higher expectations for a system, as that system having a fault or being broken (myself included at times, I don't know everything, no one does). I'm not saying that's necessarily your issue though. I was just trying to head it off at the pass by covering all my bases right off the bat. Apparently unsuccessfully.
Everyday driving means just driving down the road normally (not drink). As mentioned, the dealer says it is not working as have many others that have brought their truck in for the exact same issue. Since they can’t find a fault code, and since it is a warranty related issue, there isn’t much they can do.when everyday driving there shouldn't be a shudder unless you're driving drunk or something

If you're driving normally you won't cross the lines, and nothing will happen...
as has been posted repeatedly, everything works normally and as expected here. without both of us being in the same truck at the same time there's not much more to say.
Driving normally I purposely cross the line to see if it works. It doesn’t. No shudder, no nothing. I guess you just don’t understand. Shouldn’t be that hard.
The system disables itself if it’s interpreting your steering command as “evasive”. Maybe your attempts are proving that it’s working as designed?
