Has anybody had any issues with the Bliss system?

Yes. Goes into the dealer tomorrow. On mine, it seems like a sensor that works intermittently.

Side object detection control module, and no they didn’t have it in stock, and don’t know when they can get one.

Crap! Dropped ours off this afternoon. A day early. Will post soon as I get it back. Can’t imagine them having parts either. Thanks! Jim

Same module problem. Same answer they don’t have one and don’t have a clue when they will be able to get one.
I’m sure glad I like this thing so much!!

Lucky you! Talked to Ford and my dealer today. Refused to give me a clue when. Glad someone is getting taken care of. I was actually out looking at new cars yesterday. Congrats!

Ours became intermittent last week just as we started on vacation for ST Experience day. It is now a permanent failure. Just returned from dealer, who ordered a module, and Yes he said they are back-ordered, and No he doesn't know for how long.

We are at about 2500 miles on the odo.

They replaced the module today, and it seems to be working. Unrelated, WiFI in the car doesn’t connect to the Internet, dealer just ordered a telematics control unit (TCU). All other cell related features work fine, just not the in car WiFi.

Thanks for the update! I still haven’t heard a word on my module. Like they said earlier, they couldn’t tell me if they could fix it by the end of the year. Not a joke! One more time, I’m sure glad I like this vehicle. Happy you got yours handled! Jim

Ours was fixed yesterday. Only one week from diagnosis to repair, so not bad for us.

We had become rather spoiled on all the "radar-related" features, and then it failed by halfway through vacation.

Here is the repair ticket.
