“Started car and noticed warning lights for ABS, airbag and stability control illuminated also noted system check warnings for service advance trac, check rear park air and hill start not available. As I drove car I noticed power steering was not working as it should, turning vehicle required more effort and steering was stiff. When coming to a stop I noted the brakes seemed to lock.”

“I rear-ended a 2002 dodge ram. A guy was mad that I blew at him because he slept the previous traffic light and slammed on brakes at a green turning arrow and I hit him, he kept going. My whole front end is damaged. Air bags should've come out.”

“I got the information stating I had recall for restraints control module. I called Ford to have it replaced and they said that since my light is not currently on they wont replace it until 3q 2015. Completely unacceptable and a huge safety concern. I wont drive it in fear that it will fail right before a wreck. I drive 35,000+ a year.”
