Consumer Description

I SUSPECT THAT MY 2019 FORD ECOSPORT COMPUTER SYSTEM/CAR IS BEING HACKED/DRIVEN REMOTELY. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR IT IS TURNING IN DIRECTIONS WHEN I AM NOT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE BRAKES ARE FAILING SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO USE THEM, AS WELL AS THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED WHEN I AM NOT USING THEM, THE DIGITAL DISPLAYS AND RADIO SETTINGS ARE CHANGING WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING, THE CAR IS REDUCING SPEED AND SPEED ACCELERATING WHEN I AM NOT CONTROLLING THEM FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, SO I WILL INPUT TODAYS DATE ON THE FORM. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND PA STATE INSPECTION ALL COMPONENTS AND PARTS ARE FUNCTIONING ACCORDINGLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEING INDICATED. I AM LOOKING TO HAVE THE HACKING ISSUE INVESTIGATED. I AM ALSO SENDING INFORMATION TO THE FBI INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER.
