“There has been a recall on the air bag, or safety restraint system. I received the notice and was told to call and schedule the repair. This was many months ago. Called two dealers in my area last week, and I'm still being told that there are still no parts available. We are wondering just how safe this vehicle is, as we let our son use the car. Does anyone really have the parts. I have been in for many services at the dealer, and they just shuffle me off. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #10983124, filed 2017-05, 45,000 miles“The cars warning lights for hill stop assist, service advance trac, traction control, and the air bags all came on indicating that these safety features we're not working properly. Taken to the dealer and they said its the rcm or restraint control module that failed. The car was in no accidents, and was driving normally. This part is backordered for weeks but Ford would not provide a loner vehicle, so we faced with driving a car that is definitely not as safe as purchased, and the mandated safety features are not working. …”
NHTSA complaint #10631159, filed 2014-09, 22,505 miles“At random while car is on at any time and any speed (parked and just turned on, at a red light, driving on freeway or city driving, turning or driving straight.) rear parking aid is disabled with light turned on, airbag lights turn on, service advance trac light turns on, the power steering goes out all the same time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11089941, filed 2018-04, 130,000 miles“Approximately after 10 minutes of driving, the engine shut down and the electric motor got stuck at about half its power (according to the display on the dashboard). The front air bag malfunction light was on (this had happened 3 times before during the past two weeks), the hill assist off light turned on, and a large warning message came up on the left side of the dashboard. The vehicle had very little power, I managed to get to the side of the road and pulled over in a parking lot. Parked and turned the ignition off, waited a minute and started the vehicle. …”
