THE ABS SYSTEM TURN OFF, TOOK TO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FINE TROUBLE IT HAD RESET. TODAY SAME THING ABS TURN OFF. WILL TAKE IT IN IF IT DOES NOT RESET. BOTH TIMES THAT IT TURN OFF CAR WAS PARKED AND I WAS JUST STARTING IT TO LEAVE..*I WOULD SEE A WARNING THAT SAYS 'REGEN BRAKE FAILURE.' *THE ABS JUST WENT OUT ONE DAY WHILE COMING HOME FROM THE STORE, AND WOULD RESET WHEN THE CAR SAT FOR A WHILE. AND SYRE WAS NOT FUN TO DRIVE, BUT UNLESS IT STAYED OFF THERE WAS NOT MUCH THEY COULD DO AT FORD TO FINE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF AND THEN FORD FIXED IT, REPLACED THE ABS MODULE IT HAS BEEN O.K. SINCE THEN. I DID NOT LIKE THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR AT $1933.03. I DO NOT THINK A WOMEN WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP HER CAR IF THIS HAPPEN TO HER WHILE DRIVING YOU NEED TOO MUCH PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO STOP EVEN WHEN GOING SLOW, AND IF GOING THE SPEED POSTED TWO FEET MAYBE*SMCH

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON AND THEN THE BREAKS FAILED. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY AFTER GOING OFF THE ROAD. WHEN TAKEN INTO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPAIR SHOP THEY RESET THE CODES AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE, NO PARTS TO REPAIR. LESS THAN 50 MILES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN INJURING 3! THIS TIME IT'S THE ABS MODULE. AFTER CALLING THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM AND NO REASON FOR A RECALL. WE WERE GIVEN THE NHTSA INFORMATION TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AND IF EVENTUALLY NHTSA INFORMS FORD THAT THEY MUST DO A RECALL WE CAN BE GIVEN A REFUND FOR OUR MONEY SPENT ON THIS REPAIR. OUR QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE DIES? DOES IT TAKE THAT BEFORE SOMEONE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE KNOWN HYBRID BREAKING PROBLEMS? THE MANGER AT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE DOESN'T THINK IT'S AN ISSUE WORTH LOOKING INTO ONLY TO SAY THAT A VEHICLE WITH HIGH MILEAGE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND REPAIRED BY THE OWNERS. NOT THAT FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY PARTS! PLEASE NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HYBRID BREAKING SYSTEM BEFORE MULTIPLE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE INJURED OR ARE KILLED!

DP22005 · Pedestrian Alert Sounds
Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
DP15001 · Loss Of Power Steering While Driving
Opened Apr 1, 2015 · Closed Jun 14, 2018
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Steering:electric Power Assist System
On May 27, 2014, amended June 2, 2014, Ford Motor Company (Ford) submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) to NHTSA describing a safety defect that may result in a sudden loss of power steering assist while driving in approximately 746,067 model year (MY) 2008 through 2011 Ford Escape vehicles equipped with electric power assisted steering (NHTSA 14V-284, Ford 14S05). Ford's DIR described the defect condition as a poor signal to noise ratio [SNR] in the torque sensor within the Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system [which] does not allow the PSCM to determine the driver's steering input. When the system detects this fault condition, it transitions the EPAS system to the fail-safe/manual steering mode.Ford's DIR indicates that loss of power steering assist while driving would require higher steering effort at lower vehicle speeds, which may result in an increased risk of a crash.Ford's remedy instructs dealers to check the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to determine the proper repair procedure. If no DTCs are present, dealers are to update the PSCM and instrument cluster module software. The updated PSCM software changes the torque sensor fault strategy so that the SNR condition does not result in a loss of power steering assist while driving.In addition, audible and visual warnings are provided for torque sensor faults.If DTCs indicating faults in the torque sensor, PSCM or Power Steering Motor (motor) are present in the initial recall inspection, the dealer performs the following repairs: 1) replaces the torque sensor for torque sensor faults (DTC B2278); or 2) replaces the steering column for faults related to the PSCM (DTC B1342) or motor (DTC B2277).Continued in attachment pages
