description: 2019 FORD EDGE ST - USING PARALLEL PARK ASSIST FEATURE, I FOLLOWED PROMPTS ON SCREEN, THE CAR BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, DAMAGING THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER-PANEL OF THE EDGE. I HAD TO TAKE OVER AND BRAKE ONCE I REALIZED IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. NO ALERTS OR WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. THE SYSTEM SHOULDN'T HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE PARKING STEPS IF IT "LOST" ITS SENSORS ON THE SPACE AND SHOULD HAVE SENSED AN OBJECT IN THE PATH. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES AROUND 25-30 MPH. NEARLY STALLS BEFORE SHIFTING INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME DRIVING IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC, SLOW ACCELERATING (NOT PUTTING PEDAL TO THE FLOOR), AND DRIVING CITY STREETS. THICK ICE/CONDENSATION BUILDS UP ON THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE IN A COLD CLIMATE. MUST BE DRIED WITH A TOWEL (TOWEL WILL BE SOAKED FROM THE AMOUNT OF WATER BUILD-UP) BEFORE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN. DEFROST DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.
