I have a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. As an "older" person the electronic features are a learning experience and continue to frustrate me.

I disabled all the "lane keeping" features. I don't want it to vibrate the wheel or auto correct if I choose to fade to the left or right of a lane.

The back up safety feature was on and when I tried to back up a trailer it repeatedly slammed on the brakes. It was so sudden and abrupt that I got out of the car to look and see what I hit.

On a recent long ride a screen kept popping up with a cup of coffee telling me to take a rest.

A few times with the cruise control on when I changed lanes a screen said "trailer swerving, cruise disabled, slow down". It also disabled the cruise control and the accelerator for a short time.

That is actually how people get into trouble and jacknife trailers. When it swerves, if it is safe to do so, you should be accelerating to pull it back to straight. If you step on the brakes it will only swerve more.
