On numerous occasions the dash warning light will come on stating "Service Advance Trac". When this happens traction control, hill assist & cruise control all shut off without any warning. Sometimes the ABS light illuminates also. Ford does not seem to have a fix for this problem as it has effected many newer F53 chassis. Ford tells customers to just stop for a few minutes & cycle the key. It clears it for a little while but always comes back on. No trouble codes show up when scanning with an OBD2 scanner. Ford say they are working on a fix coming soon, but they have been saying that for the past two years, but no fix yet. When the cruise control shuts off suddenly it can be quite alarming and the traction control being inoperable could cause skidding if conditions are right.
