Consumer Description

DRIVING ON HWY AT 70 MPH USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ALL OF A SUDDEN IT APPLIED THE BRAKES. FEW DAYS LATER IT DID AGAIN ON HWY NOTHING AROUND ME. STOPPED USING IT AFTER SECOND TIME. LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THEN AFTER I GOT TO MY DISINATION THE NEXT MORNING STATER MY TRUCK FIRST I NOTICED NO POWER TO THE FRONT DRIVER & PASSANGER WINDOWS THEN NO A/C / CLIMATE CONTROL, NO MIRROR CONTROL SO STARTED DRIVING IT THEN NOTICED TIRE WARNING LIGHT ON BUT WOULDN'T SHOW THE TIRE PRESSURES LOOKED AT TIRES AND LOOKED LIKE THEY WHERE FINE. WHEN LEAVING STORE WAS BACKING UP AND ALMOST HIT A CAR MY WARNING SENSOR DIDN'T GO OFF NOW I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS TRUCK WAS NOT WORKING. NOW I'M WONDERING IF MY AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE. DROVE BACK HOME FROM VIRGINIA TO TENNESSEE ABOUT 6 HR DRIVE VERY CARFULY. NEXT DAY STRAIGHT TO FORD DEALER AND IS STILL THERE AS I'M WRITING THIS. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DID NOTICE ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2015 MODELS BUT DIDN'T SEE ANY ON THE 2016.
