“Vehicle lost power while driving and has many warning notices. Pulled over but when I tried to drive again it accelerated on its own.

Took to Ford dealer 2 times and dealer could not reproduce the issue and gave it back to me.”
NHTSA complaint #11581275, filed 2024-04“Driving at approximately 65 miles per hour. Vehicle suddenly went into neutral I was forced to pull over on a busy highway. The dashboard was illuminated with several warning lights and messages. After one key cycle, I was only able to drive in a limited limp mode. After a second key cycle and waiting a few minutes, I was able to drive like normal but an engine light stayed illuminated.”
NHTSA complaint #11603646, filed 2024-07“I was driving at 60-70 MPH on the highway and lost gas power. The electrical power in the hybrid motor continued working, but I was unable to accelerate or maintain full speed. IMPORTANT: I had this very thing repaired in accordance with a previous recall and an identical issue in January, approximately five months ago. I am reporting in case an additional recall and new software patch is needed.”
