Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY IN MARCH OF 2014, WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND TRACTION CONTROL COMING ON FOR NO REASON AT ALL. THIS MADE DRIVING/STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THE TONE RING AND SPEED SENSOR WERE REPLACED. IN DECEMBER 2014, WE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A SPEED SENSOR ISSUE AGAIN. THE WORK WAS DONE AT THE INDEPENDENT SHOP THOUGH SINCE THEY DID THE ORIGINAL WORK. YET AGAIN, IN JANUARY 2015 WE WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP. THE LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOME SORT OF FAILURE THAT IS OCCURRING TO TRIGGER THIS ISSUE. IF YOU DO A GOOGLE SEARCH, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. THIS IS CRATING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. *TR
