WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH, THE SYNC SYSTEM SCREEN WENT BLACK, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE SYSTEM CAME BACK UP. I WAS UTILIZING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AT THE TIME AND WAS FORCED TO STOP, RE-ENTER THE DETAILS OF THE LOCATION I WAS INTENDING TO VISIT. THE SYNC SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER JUST RESTART ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING A DRIVER. I AM CONCERNED THERE IS A MORE SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AS THREE OTHER ISSUES HAPPENED WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. 1. BLIB MODULE (BLIND SPOT AND CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS FAULTED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT) 2. SYNC SYSTEM REBOOTS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND UTILIZING NAVIGATION 3. LOW PRESSURE ERROR POPS UP, STEERING BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE, ACCELERATION DIES, AND BRAKING SLUGGISH. CAR REQUIRED SHUTDOWN AND RESTART TO RESOLVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY TO MY HOME, THE BLIND SPOT AND CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS FAULTED. THE WARNING MESSAGES CAME ON AND I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A FAULTY BLIB MODULE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. FOR A TWO MONTH OLD CAR, THERE SEEM TO BE AN ABNORMAL NUMBER OF FAULTY COMPONENTS. THIS COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF PEOPLE RELY ON THE BLIND SPOT AND CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS TO ALERT THEM OF CLOSE CARS OR ON COMING CARS WHILE REVERSING. *TR

NEAR THE END OF MY DAILY HOUR LONG COMMUTE HOME I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN, AS I WAS DECELERATING UP TO THE STOP SIGN, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, THE STEERING SEIZE UP, THE ACCELERATOR FAILED TO FUNCTION, AND THE BRAKING WAS SLUGGISH. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, PRESSED THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AS NORMAL AND ALL SYSTEMS APPEARED TO FUNCTION AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THE COMPUTER DID NOT REGISTER ANY FAULTS, ERRORS, OR ISSUES. THIS IS CONCERNING, BECAUSE IF THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I WERE TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND STEERING CONTROL, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TYPE THIS REPORT. THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIANS ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RECORDED. *TR
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.
