multiple issues 2021 f150
I bought my truck with 11K on it. Wondered why someone traded it in for a Chevy. I'm not going to buy a Chevy but I'm starting to wonder less. Here is the list of current issues at 17K:
1. Speed sign recognition turns itself off
2. Speed tolerance doesn't set the speed right. Currently set at 5 over. coming into a 35mph zone it sets to 42. going into a 65 it bumps my speed to 74,
3.I can't set my CC to any speed but 71 mph. If I'm set at 70 and push the + once, it skips to 72. That's not a big deal, but really odd.
4. Last night my lane assist decided to quit working.
Has anyone else had these issues? What did you do. My software is set to auto update.
oh and the apple watch app is a POS too. Constant problems with that
I also have a 22 King Ranch SD. That doesn't have copilot but is pretty well loaded otherwise. That hasn't given my any issues at 16K and I like it enough I was considering upgrading that to a 23. This F150 has me reconsidering any changes. My impression at this point is Ford is releasing technology that isn't ready

I have Co-Pilot Assist 2.0. Adaptive cruise for me works great and even holds me in the lane center very well. I use it all the time. Sounds like you may have a warranty issue.
I'm not a big fan of using the speed sign recognition on highways because the speed limit keeps changing too often between 55, 65, 70 and 75. I have two problems with Intelligent Speed Sign Recognition as noted below.
1. Usually highway traffic is moving along well and when it sees the sign to go from 65 to 55 my speed will then drop 10 miles per hour instantly and causes everyone behind me to aggressively swerve around me. Again, happens too frequently.
2. It seems to read Speed Signs correctly about 99% of the time. It's the 1% that bothers me most. One time I was on the highway and it went from 70mph to 25 mph...that scared the heck out of me because there was no sign that justified and no reason for it that I saw...it just seemed to happen out of the blue. Now I will also admit that the speed sign recognition tech also saved my bacon once too.
So, in conclusion I love the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering, but I keep the speed sign recognition turned off in my settings most of the time except back country roads that go through towns and residential neighborhoods frequently.

2. Speed tolerance doesn't set the speed right. Currently set at 5 over. coming into a 35mph zone it sets to 42. going into a 65 it bumps my speed to 74,

People need to recognize EVERY manufacture makes metric vehicles these days bolts, 5.0 liter, etc The cruise control would make more sense in km/hr than mph. It is rounding km/hr to mph and any number that does not get rounded nicely is skipped. Change to metric and it will likely be more consistent.
