My issue is with the transmission when applying the brakes. It seems to be the regenerative braking switching back-and-forth between the brake pads and the regenerative motor. Which causes the dash to come up with a bunch of error codes, including ABS brakes, traction control, airbags, Lane monitoring. these transmissions have about a 75% failure rate.

I had started my car one morning and noticed some "dummy" lights had not gone off. I then got a notice about "hill side assist not available" that was weird as I was on a flat surface. Then I also got a notification that said "service advancetrak". The warning lamps that stayed illuminated are ABS, front airbag, stability control, and stability control off lights. While I drove off, the steering was affected as well, it wasn't like I had no power steering, but it was definately more difficult to steer. I got to work, called the dealer, made an appointment for my car to be looked at. Which was thenext day. When I went back to my car after work, the warning lights and notifications did not appear. The next day, went to the car, going to work, all the lights appeared again. Car went to the shop and was told the speed sensor and hub need to be replaced. The total cost is $635.00 for repairs. I have seen lots of complaints of this sort for my year of car. I believe a recall should be issued.

While driving the vehicle on a main city street (straight away) the electronic stability system lights came on along with the ABS light and the vehicle proceeded to try and stop on its own without me applying pressure to the brakes. It has done this multiple times and I have already contacted the nearest ford dealership. I have 2 small children and I am in fear of driving my vehicle.

While in motion and trying to come to a stop the ABS light came on and brakes went completely to the floor and barely stopped the car. It's now stuck that way. Abs lights always on and brakes are spongy. Also fuel pump whines loudly while car was driving and car dies while driving down the road and now won't accelerate going uphill. This has happened on many occasions and now it stuck having no power uphill or when trying to accelerate

Advance track, ABS, traction control, blindspot, all light up on display. When accelerating car it makes a stalling jerking motion. Frequently when applying the brakes it's jumping forward and making loud noises. Also when releasing breaks, it makes a spring like noise. The power steering light comes on and all of a sudden becomes very difficult to steer which is a major safety concern.

Service advance trac, traction control, ABS, and steering assist fault lights all come on randomly and it becomes extremely hard to steer. When this is going on, the lane keeping system does not work and the turn signal needs shut off after every turn. Having no power steering and trying to turn off your turn signal while driving is extremely dangerous. These lights randomly come on and go back off. I live in pa, if this problem happens in snow I have to pull over and wait for the steering to be back to normal or risk my life getting home. Ford has not included my VIN in a recall that could be the cause of the issues. I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times now for this same problem.

Have yet to receive a notice of the takata airbag recall and now my light is flashing on while driving. I've had 2 diagnostics done on my car before I fixed the issue and after I replaced the ABS sensor on my left front wheel and I'm still getting the same codes for my ABS, service traction control and hill assist lights. I have had my brakes replaced thinking that was an issue because my pedal is depressing to the floor while in motion and feels like it won't stop when turning to park. What else am I to do?
