Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I had yet another stop safely now warning in which the car completely lost power to the drivetrain while in motion. I had previously taken in the car for the recall in january and was told that would resolve the issue, but the problem has popped up again. This is a very dangerous thing to happen to have a car suddenly lose all power while driving in the middle of the road. Ford has clearly not fixed this problem yet.”

“While driving my 2014 Ford fusion EV, the stop safely now warning sounded and the stop safely now warning error displayed. The car immediately lost power and stranded me in the middle of the road. This occurred in front on my home. My husband was able to restart it. I drove the car and within seconds, once again experienced the stop safely now warning and immediate power loss. The car was towed to the Ford dealer.”

“I was traveling about 35 MPH when my car flashed a message stop safely now and the car had lost power to the wheels and I was now just coasting. I pulled the vehicle off to the side of the road. I was able to turn off the vehicle and get it started again. I was lucky that I was able to safely get my vehicle to a safe place had this been on a freeway I would have surely been in a serious accident.”
