DURING DAY TIME DRIVING IN RAIN OR OVERCAST THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. SWITCHING FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL CONTROL OF HEADLIGHTS HAS NO EFFECT ON DASH LIGHTS. THEY STAY OFF! I BELIEVE THIS AFFECTS ALL CURRENT FORD VEHICLES. *TR

AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF, REALIZED THE TRUCK HAD TURNED OFF WITH OUT A REASON, SECOND TIME IT DID THE SAME THING. THE THIRD TIME WAS THIS SATURDAY 12/03/11, WHEN I CAME TO THE RED LIGHT, OF COURSE TRUCK WAS RUNNING, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I GOT READY TO GO, THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF ONCE AGAIN, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC I HAD TO TURN IT BACK ON AND GO, PROBLEM IS THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS A SINGLE MOTHER WITH MY SON'S FATHER DECEASED, LAST THING I NEED IS TO BE IN A FATAL ACCIDENTS TO HIS, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MANUFACTURE OR A DEALER CAN OR WILL FIX THIS, TRUCK STILL UNDER WARRANTY, JUST VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE, CALLED DEALER LEFT VOICEMAIL, AND NO CALL BACK. *TR

AS I WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 TODAY AT 1PM AT 75MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY JERKED ME FORWARD AS I LET OFF ACCELERATOR IT DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH TO FIRST VIOLENTLY LOCKING ME REAR BRAKES UP AND FISHTAILING ME INTO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR THEN STALLED AND I COASTED SAFELY TO A STOP. THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP AND RUN BUT I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER/ THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD IT BEEN RAINING OR WET CONDITIONS I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND EVEN DIED. I DO NOT WANT TO UNDERSTATE THIS OCCURRENCE. THIS HAD TO BE LOOKED IN TO IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE "DOWNHILL DECENT CONTROL FAULT" LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE FAULT LIGHT COMES ON AND REMAINS ON., IT ALSO CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE TO COME ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL YOU CAN THE FAULT LIGHT DECIDES TO GO OFF. SO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND EVEN WORSE, WHEN IN TRAFFIC, THE FAULT LIGHT MAY COME ON AND CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO SHINE, SIGNALING TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SLOWING OR COMING TO A STOP, WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS CAN, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, BE VERY DANGEROUS. TURNING THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF WILL AT TIME ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS AN OPTION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OR IN TRAFFIC. THE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON WITH NO WARNING, AND WITH NO USE OF THE SYSTEM THAT IS INDICATED IS FAULTING. *TR
