  1. @CMAldrich, I have not spent much time troubleshooting this problem since I posted my message, but I am going to look more carefully at what is unique about that area. For one thing, there is a railroad crossing about 150 Yds furter down the road (but that is not the trigger point) and there are high voltage power lines nearby. When traffic is light, I'm going to creep along and find the exact trigger point. Maybe then I'll have a better clue as to the source. Incidentally, I have a very sensitive radar detector in the car, and it never makes a peep in that area (unless there is a speed trap set up). Let me know if you isolate the source and I'll do the same. Cruise_2_xs
  2. My collision avoidance system seemed to be failing intermittantly (clean car dry roads) here in Wisconsin. Then, it went through 6 months in Florida without 1 glitch. Now I am back and the problem appeared again. BUT > > > > I now know that it only happens at one spot on one of the roads I travel frequently. As I drive past this particular spot, it triggers the failure every time! There is nothing obvious at that spot. No public buildings with door openers, no traffic lights, no bumps in the road, nothing I can see. I'll take this up with the local Ford dealer in the next couple of weeks, maybe even get them to send a tech out with me on a test drive. I'm not holding out much hope that there is a fix however.
  3. When on road trips, I like to listen to the truckers on the CB for road info, etc. My edge Limited has a glass roof, not a metal one, which creates two issues: 1) A magnetic mount won't work on the glass top, and I'm not sure a suction cup would be strong and/or reliable enough for freeway speeds. 2) Use on a glass top may or may not require a "no ground plane" type antenna. Has anyone solved these problems successfully? Thanks.
