“On two separate occasions the car seemingly went out of control from the driver. While driving on the highway the car began to swerve uncontrollably and was unable to be brought under control for a few seconds. We have taken it to the dealership service department on two separate occasions only to be told nothing is wrong with the car.”

“While driving on a local road close to my house, the vehicle started showing lot of alerts and suddenly the parking brake was engaged automatically which stopped the vehicle. Luckily, the vehicle speed was very slow as it was evening and raining with good amount of traffic on the local ford road. This was very scary, ad thinking if this had happened on a highway, this would have been life threatening. The vehicle was towed to the mb ann arbor mi dealership which it was worked on for almost a month. …”
