What owners say
Hold latch broke a number of days ago, one day driving 60mph on the highway the hood flew up and smashed my windshield. A few months later my fuel pump caught on fire, I had no idea until I got under the car because it didn't want to start. I'm glad to be alive from the fire, the car could have blown up! My ABS brake light is on as well! Last night I was reading up on some forums and I found out that ford was trying to hide these issue's!!!!! Don't believe me? Look for your self http://bit.ly/2qtidtt thats the url, copy it and paste it in your browser!! I will include it in my pictures as well. They tryed to hide the problem by putting an inline fuse to make it a little bit "safer"!!! My car hasnt been to the dealership in forever and they never got to fix the problem they hid from every one!! Ill show you in the pictures. Please investigate this problem!!! The inline fuse is still hooked up to my speed control deactivation switch, and the original switch is still in car and this is where the problem. My son stumbled across this when he couldn't find the original connector for the original fuel pump that I ordered a few days ago that was hard to find. They changed the original fuel pump to a new one with a different connector. One of their recalls was faulty connectors. The connector on my car was the original and that is what caused my fuel pump to catch fire. The hood latch I didn't know was a recall and it broke a while back, I didn't think nothing of it until my hood flew up and smashed my windshield!! Please tell me I'm not the only one who caught onto this! Please help and investigate!!! My son thinks it all stemmed from the program speed control system and the leaking speed control deactivation switch (scds).

- What is wrong
- The nuts and bolts that attach the rear brake adaptor to the axle housing flange can loosen and eventually separate. If one or more of the nuts come off the bolts, damage to the parking brake assembly or to the antilock brake system (ABS) sensor and sensor ring (if so equipped) will occur. If all four nuts on one end of the axle come off the bolts, damage to the brake hydraulic line or the parking brake cable can occur.
- Risk
- Occurrence of any of these conditions can result in a loss of braking capability and possible accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and, if needed, install new bolts. If any of the fasteners are disconnected, the parking brake and ABS components will be inspected and serviced.
