Bluecruise Not Working

Regardless of the interstate (I 70, I 29, I 94) if the Bluecruise comes on at all, it lasts only about five to ten seconds before shutting off. Dealer said it could not find any pronblems, except the "system isn't really very good". I see that the last update was August of 2024. I have a 2025 bought in February. Originally, the system worked reasonably well. Now, it is more or less useless. Any thoughts?

Mine BlueCruise is finicky. It won’t function unless it gets 5 GPS signals and they are clear. Solar flares that disrupt signals are real and BC won’t work.

I have had it work flawlessly for 400 miles then forget where it was the next day.

I don’t know if I will renew.

I couldn't get mine to work at all. Out of the blue, it started working AFTER we took a 6 hour roadtrip. I called Ford to see if they could give me a courtesy month trial since it didn't start working until the last two weeks, which they could obviously see based on the data logs. Nope, nothing they would do and it was like pulling teeth even to get to that answer. I was not pleased with the support.

When it started working, did you do anything different to your settings?
Conditions must be met for BC to activate.

Haven't had an issue when subscribed getting Blue Cruise to work but system keep saying I wasn't looking at the road. Adjusted height of steering wheel which kinda helped but still beeped annoyingly. Steering wheel was then in a position uncomfortable for driving. At one point, it pumped brakes on me which created road rage against my own vehicle. I'll just use adaptive cruise for now on.

Nope, nothing different. I actually checked the BC website and 87% of my trip was BC eligible!
