Filed Jul 12, 2021FL

Since new 14,500 miles ago when hitting road bumps or at speeds between 73-76 MPH the ABS & Traction Control lights come on. This causes lose of Anti-Lock Braking, Cruise Control, Hill Start Protection, & Stability Control. It has been back to Ford 5 times & not fixed. It was last to Rush Truck Center who replaced a damaged Tone Ring & Wheel Speed Sensor. Mine was the third one repaired in 2 weeks & all on the right rear. I just completed a 5,300 mile road trip & every day had these lights come on multiple times which required stopping shutting off the engine to reset the computer. Ford has had our unit in the shop now 100 days, first time for 58 straight days.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
