Electronic Stability Control
Driving down the highway, yellow wrench appeared on main screen. Truck immediately went to limp mode. No acceleration available. Difficult and dangerous to get to safety. Turned off truck and waited a few minutes to restart and truck seemed fine. Also, when cresting a hill in sixth gear and slightly lifting on the accelerator, the vehicle has a big thunk that can be felt throughout the vehicle. Seems to be in the…

My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime i drive.

Driving down the interstate at 70 mph, the "check brake system" warning flashed on the dash. I went to push the brake pedal and it was locked in place. I physically could not depress the pedal, not even enough to disable the cruise control. I had to switch cruise off on the wheel, shift to neutral, and coast to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. Shut the truck down, turned back on and the code disappeared and my…

Truck down shifts while driving. My pregnant wife and i were driving 70 mph on highway, when truck down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused us to slide off road in the rain. Ford just recalled 2011-2013 for same problem! They need to recall 2014 as well! My truck was fixed at ford dealership.

First received advance trac warning, then hill descent warning and then power steering failure indication. Power steering failure was sudden and unexpected and almost caused an accident when in motion doing a turn, due to electronic power steering system lock up which prevented the front wheels from turning as much as expected. This is a very dangerous unexpected condition and could have caused a serious accident…

Electronic Stability Control
While driving on the highway at approximately 30 mph steering became stiff and after taking a turn would not return to center position. Vehicle has 37,000 miles. Im seeing that this is a common recall issue with the electronic power assist steering gears but my vehicle is not part of the recall. This poses a severe risk to public health and safety and this recall should be expanded to cover other vehicles. Imo

Warning lights came on dash about stability or traction control, no 4x4 lights were showing even though i had it in four wheel drive. Within seconds i could not control my truck in the snow and the steering would not allow me to change my course of direction. This truck acted like it was not in four wheel drive. My truck slammed/slid sideways into a curb on the rotary by my home causing $2129.19 damages to tires and…
