We were driving home at approximately 45 MPH and the engine shuts off. No engine, no steering, etc. My husband was reducing speed (45 to 35) using the cruise control on the steering wheel. Every light on the dashboard lit up, engine, wrench. Oil can. This is the third time this has happened. We took it in for diagnostics twice (once to an independent repair facility and once to a dealership). Both said they didn't find any error codes. The ABS tone ring was replaced and a new battery was installed. These repairs did not fix the problem. This is dangerous!!! So far this has cost us $465.00. I will be making another appointment with the dealership today.

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Abs light stay on. I was told it was c-1095 code.
Airbag indicator light came on my vehicle. After bringing it to a dealership I was informed I need a new drivers side impact airbag and electrical harness. My vehicle has never been in an accident and I feel the manufacturer should correct this serious safety defect. Also my ABS wheel speed sensor wiring was severed by suspension parts due to placement of wiring causing loss af ABS and traction control function without any fault of mine. I feel that the SRS system as well as the ABS system are the two most important safety features and if they should fail as mine did I feel it is the manufacturers responsibility regardless of any warranty.
Was approaching a red light and applied pressure to brake pedal. The brake pedal has hard and wouldn't depress. The ABS and traction control lights came on and the vehicle continued through the red light. Fortunately there was no one in front of me or any cross traffic. Releasing the brake pedal and reapplying with the ABS and traction control lights on the vehicle was finally able to stop. Carefully drove the vehicle home and had it towed to the dealer the following morning. Dealer diagnosed it as the front hubs being defective. The hub bearings were so loose that the ABS sensor and speed ring were not in close proximity to each other. Dealer replaced hubs and vehicle is now functioning properly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford explorer. When he attempted to accelerate after fueling the fuel tank, the vehicle came to complete stop, without brake application. The vehicle did not stall.
