I was wanting to know if anyone knows what year the pre collision assist system started in ?

Driving for about 5 hours, in rain, freezing rain, snow, icy roads. Just as I hit the exit to my house, everything lit up. Dash Warnings Service AdvanceTrac Check Rear Park Aid Blindspot System Fault Collision Warning Not Available Adaptive Cruise Not Available Hill Start Assist Not Available Dash Lights ABS Light is on, the Traction Control light is on, and several others mentioned above 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid, about 70k miles. I am thinking a ground issue, but have no idea where to start.. Car has been a really good vehicle up to this point. They have all been on for a few days now, I can reset, and they all come back.. Its been cold above freezing now, but still having all the issues. I looked through the forum and seen a couple of these together, but not the entire list.

I'm a careful driver, and always try to leave room, brake early, and stay aware of my surroundings, but unfortunately, you can't control other drivers. Case in point, I was driving home from work today, on the 101 highway here in Phoenix, in the center lane. Traffic was off-and-on stop and go, and I had just come from an area where traffic was moving at about 45-50 to a slow-down. I braked carefully, and just as I had come to a stop, WHAM! hit from behind. The guy was in the left lane, decided he had to be in the center lane apparently, but did not leave enough room / anticipate the slow-down. First, his car (a 1998 "rough" Accord).. ... and now for the back of my Fusion. I was really expecting some major damage.. Surprisingly, it was not as bad as I expected, although I'm still disappointed. I work so hard to take care of it, and this happens. Apparently, he hit his brakes hard once he realized he was about to hit me, and so I suspect the front end dipped down low enough that it wedged under the back of my Fusion. In fact, he hit me hard enough and low enough that his front bumper cover actually ended up lodged under my car, pinned on the muffler tips, etc.. I'll definitely need a new muffler, and I suspect, everything in back of the catalytic converter. In case anyone is wondering, there does not appear to be any damage at all to the trunk, lights, or really anything above the bumper.
