My vehicle has been at the dealership 5 times (for multiple weeks) for the bumper sensors going off! Noise drives me crazy! They followed Ford’s repair sequence and “determined” it to be caused by the Bull bar and lights I had installed. I had no issues initially. The bull bar and lights were installed when I bought the vehicle. No issues until a number of months later. They replaced one sensor and that seemed to work for a bit, then it got worse. Ford then told the techs to replace the park aid module. It’s worse now, and Ford is now saying it’s the aftermarket items and they are giving my vehicle back I repaired! BTW: The aftermarket guy that works at the dealership has the same vehicle and setup. No issues!!!! This is crazy! Any suggestions?
