The vehicle has started taking longer to stop so i replaced the brake pads and rotors all around, this did nothing to resolve the issue. It feels like the system is telling itself to not brake using the abs even on dry roads or just not applying pressure to the brakes.

This has happened numerous times when braking the accelerator is also depressed at the same time. Causing the vehicle to continue to move unexpectedly. Today while pulling into our driveway this happened again and the vehicle went through the house pushing it off the foundation and causing damage to the vehicle. This is a design flaw the gas and brake pedal are to close together. This has also happened to my wife…

I bought this truck new with 26 miles on it. I have since had brakes go out...steering go out, powertrain replaced with refurbished one. I don't understand why the steering issue is not a safety issue and all the mechanics at ford say it should be a recall. I don't understand why the spark plugs can't be removed without breaking off and ford is totally aware of this problem. My truck steering ...i was told a part…
