ALSO HEARD THE BRAKE PADS (4 WHEEL DISK BRAKES) SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE SCRATCHING ON THE ROTORS. ALL INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET/NHTSA VEHICLE RECALL WEBSITE SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. BUT, FORD IS NOT WILLING TO RECALL THE VEHICLES BECAUSE IT REQUIRES A $5,300 HCU REPLACEMENT PART. MY SON NEEDS TO DRIVE VEHICLE FOR HIS JOB (UBER/LYFT). HELP!!? SAFETY ISSUE! FORD MOTOR COMPANY OR THE NHTSA CAN CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME TO HELP ME WITH FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED.
