2015 Ford Mustang: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed May 6, 2024 · Steering · AR

The steering gear including contour module went out. I was backing out and couldn’t turn my wheel my sisters boyfriend had to drive it home on a curvy road with no power steering. I have a local mechanic looking at it but they said the part is on back order which means this must happen a lot. They finally got the part and now are saying it won’t program so are needing to order another part. When I turned the car on to leave my destination it said service powersteering system and abs, but before that there were no warnings. I unplugged the battery for 30 minutes to rest the car and everything worked fine for another 1, then driving down the road it went out again.

Traveling on highway using cruise control at posted speed limit. Approached slowdown due to accident and applied brakes. Accelerated to limit (manually) after passing accident. I was in middle lane. Vehicle abruptly began to decelerate. Continuous pressure on gas pedal did not increase speed, so I put on hazards and moved to slow lane. No failures on dashboard and quick scan through gages did not identify an issue. Re-applied pressure to gas pedal wanting to get to next exit. Car sped up, but when approaching 50 mph, it decreased again. Found that pumping gas would allow me to maintain highway speed. Pulled into truck stop at exit and turned car off. Message on console "Hill start assist not available". Let vehicle rest 15 minutes, added gas. Quick web search seemed to point to problem with ABS sensor. Seemed to drive ok in parking lot and road leading to highway ramp. Decided to try to get closer to home. Problem occurs immediately after climbing to 50 mph. Cruise control won't work. By carefully monitoring speed and pumping gas into overdrive when needed, I was able to get home. Could not get appointment with dealership until late afternoon next day. Hill start assist message comes on again when stopping. After arriving home and parking in garage I went inside for about 30 minutes. Needed to unload items from car and went back to garage noticing that the strip of lights above trunk are still on. Got back in car, started it (got hill assist message), turned lights on/off and turned off car. Now my rear brake lights are also on. I had seen a post about this, so unhooked battery to prevent drain. Next morning, reattached battery and had same problem. After more internet investigation, Awesome humans who have also had this dangerous issue and provided a $5 fix instead of a $500+ dealership fix. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/brake-light-switch-near-pedal-failure.122100/pag SUDDEN UNEXPECTED THROTTLE CAUSING SLOWDOWN ON BUSY INTERSTATE IS LIFE THREATENING.

For the past three years. When I go to work. Everything is fine. When I leave work. I back the car up about 15-30 feet. Then pull out of the parking lot. When I pull out. As I press the gas & start going faster. The car stalls, jerks as if the breaks are pushed, then starts driving as normal again. It happens all the time. But my ford place says it has to do it with them driving for them to know what to do or what the issue is. Then this past week. The same thing happened. But it happened for a longer time and the traction control light brinked the whole time I was trying to accelerate. So a friend at a ford body shop told me it was probably my ABS sensor. Also the hood of my car started to loose paint for no reason. No rust. It's just flaking off. The flacking started near the headlight underneath the top of the hood. & is slowly coming towards the top of the hood. My 36,000 mile warranty just expired right after I noticed the issue. And they wouldn't cover it. I don't think that's right!
