Anyone solved this problem yet? Just got my truck before Christmas and a few days ago the front left parking sensor starting acting up with the same error, not sure if a new update triggered it. I turned it off from settings for now.

Nope, they are just overly sensitive.

Anyone else notice that it always appears to be the same one of the front drivers side? Mine does that too every once in awhile. Literally happened to me the first time the day after leaving the dealership. Ford this should be either a firmware fix or a warranty fix or something. Same with the raptor button not working sometimes but that’s another topic. Easy fixes

Same here, just the front driver side sensor. I found a ton of similar issues on the F150 Lightning forums.

I’ve been having the same problem as well. Mine is always driverside front sensor that throws the error. Error pops up sporadically during warm temp (like 60f+) but almost guaranteed in cold (ie less than 40f)

Mee too. Front drivers side. Have to take mine in for a few warranty adjustments. I'll have them look into this as well.
When pulling into my tight garage space I get an error saying the Front Sensors are blocked. Sometimes the camera will turn off when I get this error and have to hit the camera button again. What’s weird I sometimes get this error when pulling out of my garage, why would it be complaining about the front when backing up?

Any suggestions or tips? My guess this is normal behavior from how sensitive the sensors are.
What did you find out from the dealer ?

Nada didn’t take the vehicle in. It seems to of fixed it self. My vehicle received an over the air update and the problem isn’t there now. Maybe I am lucky? Not sure what Ford updated. But also my iPhone connection issues are now resolved too.

Good to hear it went away. My wife got her ranger raptor in April. I got mine in October. We both had different screens. When she got her update recently, her screen looks just like mine now, so mine must have came with the new software in it already. Maybe I need to go get a reboot at the dealer. Hopefully that's all it is. ?

Same exact driver side parking sensor issue is happening to me. I end up deactivating it every day. I’ve taken it to the dealer twice but it doesn’t happen to the technician in the shop… I assume the temperature is warmer inside and has something to do with it. It definitely seems more consistent in cold weather.

Worth noting the bumper end on the driver side was coming loose as well… it seemed misaligned and a manufacturing defect. Dealer sent it to a body shop to be corrected under warranty. I hoped this might fix it but it’s still happening. Possibly something in that area during manufacturing was just not right…?

I contacted Ford support today. They said to call them the next time I take it to the dealer and they’d work with them to solve it… going to try that. I’ll post the outcome of that when it happens.

I noticed that mine starts popping up only when the temperature is below -5C (22F). Not even once when it is above that. I am taking it to the dealer in a few days and will try to record a video for reference.

Good morning! This error message concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience. Please send us a private message including your VIN and local Ford dealer so we can investigate further. Thanks!
I have a 2024 Ranger Raptor and also get the Sensor Error message constantly. It is the left front sensor. Anytime it is wet or cold, the sensor goes off. The warning is so fast I barely have time to turn them off with the slider button.

Is it a bad sensor or a bad connection? anyone know why this is happening?

I also have been dealing with this left front sensor problem on my 2024 Lariat, truck built 10/16/24. My sensor blocked alarm goes off when I'm driving, in traffic or not. Took it to the dealer and the tech said he reset the "code", apparently nothing else. Drove it home that day with no alarm. Next day, alarms while driving or stopped. Have yet to take it back to dealer. As far as outside temps, I bought my truck in November so I have only driven it in cold temps.

Mine shows up front right, what slider button are to talking about. Your right it flashes so fast I can barely read it.
