Consumer Description
FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS, INTERMITTENTLY, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THEN THE HILL ASSIST LIGHT, THEN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WOULD DISENGAGE, AND NOW THE PARKING BRAKE FAULT LIGHT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AS IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEY DON'T ALL FAULT AT THE SAME TIME. IT SEEMS EACH CONSECUTIVE DAY THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS GROWS. MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THAT NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE THROTTLE WILL BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY HAPPEN. TWICE TODAY IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM FILING THIS REPORT JUST IN CASE I GET INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE I CAN HAVE IT CHECKED BY A FORD DEALER.
