2025 ST My previous ST was a 2020 Edge, the pre-collision assist would go off almost every time I drove it at least once, usually cars turning in front of me. My new 2025 ST now has 9500 miles on it, and it has never gone off. I have it set on the high sensitivity, and it is
suppose to turn on automatic when you start the car. I have tried to make it go off be approaching the rear of a stopped car but to no avail. I have attended the ST driving experience, and this was one of the driving tests you were given so
I know how it works and feels. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this either working or not working. I am do for oil change next week so will have the dealer look at it.

It takes a lot for the system to do its job. If you do anything, let off the gas, slight braking, turn a little, the system thinks you’re handling it and doesn’t do anything unless a crash is imminent. I think you’re just a tad too worried about it, like I said it takes a lot for the system to work. You also have to be over 15 MPH or so I believe.

They probably improved the software in the refresh. They upgraded co-pilot 360 to BlueCruise so maybe they improved the rear brake assist and collision braking feature. In the 2020 they are way too sensitive and overreacts or is slow to realize the threat of collision has passed.
