Consumer Description
THE EPS UNIT SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. FROM DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE FORD CREATED THE EPAS SYSTEM. WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME IT FAILED. RESTARTING THE CAR DID NOT TEMPORARILY FIX OUR ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS NOW WITHOUT RESULT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
