Consumer Description
My engine light came on so I took it to Ford dealership and they told me it's the car computer not understanding when the engine is turned off and that it is not an urgent issue to keep driving it since they are backed up. A week later while driving the car just stopped the engine light started glitching. After 2 minutes it starts again. So I called Ford explained what happened they could check it a week later so I start calling around. Found Ford dealership that can check it immediately, then they told me that the issue is a wiring problem that Ford has sent them a bulletin about but it is not a recall. I told them that it should be a recall if Ford knew that a wiring issue can make your car just stop in the middle of traffic with no warning whatsoever. The issue on my invoice says EEC TEST CODES P2610 P2138, PIN POINT TEST, NEED TO PERFORM TSB 13-11-15 WIRE REPAIR BYPASS CONNECTOR C210 TO PCM, REPROGRAM PCM TO LATEST SOFTWARE. It is a safety issue if your car just stops working in the middle of traffic and Ford know but refuse to issue a recall for it.
