All Traction Control System Complaints
TRACTION CONTROL IS A HAZARD, WHEN YOU NEED POWER TO THE WHEELS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES YOU HAVE ZERO POWER. WHILE GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH SNOW ON THE SURFACE THE WHEELS SPUN BRIEFLY AND ENGAGED THE TRACTION CONTROL, LOST ALL POWER TO THE FRONT WHEELS AND HAD TO BACK DOWN. TALKING WITH THE DEALER THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL, NOT SAFE, BUT NORMAL. NOW, YOU CAN TURN THE TC OFF BUT REQUIRES MULTIPLE STEPS WITH PROGRAMMING SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL, PLUS, EVERY TIME YOU TURN VEHICLE OFF IT RESETS TC TO ON. THERE NEEDS TO AN EASY ACCESS SWITCH TO TURN TC OFF WHILE DRIVING OR AT THE VERY LEAST, FORD NEEDS TO REPROGRAM THE VEHICLES SO WHEN YOU TURN TC OFF, IT STAYS OFF UNTIL YOU TURN BACK ON. LOOSING POWER IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND AT THE BEST CAUSES...
TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE.... DURING SNOWSTORM , TRYING TO DRIVE UP A HILL WITH A LEFT HAND TURN , TIRES LOST TRACTION AND CAR ELECTRONICALLY REDUCED RPM SPEED... LOSS OF SPEED ALMOST SENT CAR SIDEWAYS INTO DITCH. HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GET RUN AT HILL 4 MORE TIMES.... EACH TIME WHEN TRACTION WITH TIRES WAS BROKEN ...RPMS WERE DROPPED TO NOTHING LEAVING CAR STOPPED NEAR STALLING IN MIDDLE OF HILL. WILL BE DEALING WITH DEALERSHIP SOON.. I FEEL THAT THE FIX FOR THIS IS GOING TO BE REMOVE FUSE FOR TRACTION CONTROL.....OR DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM.. THIS CAR IS A STICK SHIFT... I CAN SEE HOW ANOTHER 120 REPORTS ON THIS PAGE WITH AUTO TRANSMISSIONS, MAY BE THE SAME ISSUE..... *TR
