Adaptive steering fault service required light is on. Car pulls to the right ever since light came on. Took it in for service at 37,000 miles and ford refuses to repair this safety malfunction under any type of warranty. I purchased extended platinum insurance coverage because I bought this vehicle used 1 year ago. Light comes on everything I turn the vehicle on. I'm concerned for my safety driving, especially at high speeds on the freeway.

Rear right wheel makes bouncing noice when driving and steering wheel stays to the right. When back in and rear in goes to the right.

Abs system failure - while the vehicle is in full speed motion and after applying brakes firmly for an abrupt stop, the braking system fails to distribute power equally to each brake causing the vehicle to fail in two specific performance features. First applying full braking capacity to slow the vehicle effectively and efficiently. Second, the vehicle pulls to one side or the other in a random fashion. This performance makes the vehicle unsafe to drive as the power braking capacity is less than 30 percent. This failure was reported to the authorized ford dealer and they could not identify the failure or chose not to. This issue should have been a warranty issue but was not since the dealer did not identify during the warranty period, I was forced to pay the full repair cost months later.

While putting on the brakes and turning, the brake pedal went all the way down and stayed like this for quite some time. It still brakes but it pulls to the right when done so. It is very annoying, but it is a safety hazard. I heard there was a recall on this action but when I took it to the dealer they said it was not covered. This is definitely a factory defect and I would hate to get in a court action with ford if anything happens. This mystery happened twice so far.
