Intermittent "parking pilot malfunction" on mk4

[Dark Andy]

Hi,

I've had my mk4 for about 3 months now and in that time I've noticed "parking pilot malfunction" displayed on my dash on 2 or 3 occasions. The message never stays on for more than a second or so and everything seems to be working ok. The first time it happened it was raining and I put it down to the rain confusing the sensor but it happened again today in the dry. Is there anything to worry about or is this just something that happens occasionally?

Could be a dodgy sensor.  Not seen that error on my MK4.

 

My old cars sensors did not like being dirty and would glitch if not clean.

Or it could just be that the electronics on the Ford Focus MK4 are crap.

I get weekly random items not switch on or just not work, hill assist, collision assist, sat nav etc etc.

The collision assist isn't brilliant is it?! Mine's always flashing red and warning me of my impending demise!
