“At less than 10 MPH going down a hill, the vehicle abruptly applied the brakes bringing the SUV to an immediate hard stop. There was no apparent reason for the braking as the road ahead was completely clear. This is the fourth time this has happened, twice with me and twice when my wife was driving!”

“While out driving my 2019 Ford EDGE I began experiencing difficulty with steering. I started heading home when I tried to stop the brakes were not working. I had to use the emergency brake to stop. When I tried to turn the steering wheel it would not turn. I managed to get it parked with great difficulty. I had several warnings that flashed on the dash. I had it flat bedded to seabreeze Ford. I am currently waiting to hear from them regarding what repairs are need. This was a terrified experience to be in control of my vehicle. …”

NHTSA complaint #11364484, filed 2020-10, 2,500 miles

“While driving on the highway I experienced an apparent loss of power. It happened on an uphill grade and persisted for the duration of my trip – approximately 25 miles. The problem seemed to only occur on an uphill or flat road. The problem was not evident going downhill. Going home (approximately 32 miles) a few hours later the problem persisted. For about a week nothing happened, and then the problem reoccurred on the highway while coming back from dinner. Since then it has sporadically reappeared getting more frequent in the past few weeks. …”

“I was driving on a country road and had my cruise control set to 55. My car braked hard and de-accelerated to about 40 and then increased the speed without hitting the resume button. My 89 year old mother was my passenger in the car with me and both of us were jolted when the seat belts locked up. We both gasped as we were startled by this action. There were no animals, vehicles or blowing debris across the path of my car. No messages appeared on my dash. I have not reported this to my Ford dealer and the car is available to be checked. This was a one time event. …”
