When entering the Ford Service Center for the transmission check appointment, the left front brake seized. There was an odor of burning brake pads. 3.

While still at the service center, they connected the vehicle for a computer reboot/refresh that would take over night. The next morning they informed me that the reboot did not take in the vehicle computer system. 5. The service center called in a regional Ford Technician three times...
