“On Nov 22nd, I met with an accident. I have a safety recall notice from Ford. NHTSA Recall number is 23V727. Because of this, the brakes were faulty leading to the accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11562605, filed 2023-12“While driving up hill in low gear, the vehicle suddenly will jerk, a service light will come on, and a powertrain warning will occur. When this happens, it warns that the pre-collision assist is unavailable, as well as the exhaust mode selection. Once this occurs, the vehicle becomes much more difficult to drive as the rev match no longer occurs, the vehicle no longer increases revs as you start releasing the clutch, and when in gear it becomes more jerky as you are driving along. I don't have the experience but I suspect it is essentially in a low power mode with minimal computer aid. …”
