BACK IN JULY, 2016, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD RE: A RECALL ON THE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR. NO FURTHER NOTICES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED REGARDING FIXING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN WILL THE SITUATION BE RESOLVED?

WENT OUT TO CAR TO START BEFORE LEAVING TO GO TO WORK NOTICE THAT THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. GOT OUT THE VEHICLE POP THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND SEEN THAT THE BELT HAD COME OFF THE PULLEYS THE BELT IT'S SELF WAS NOT BROKE BUT OF THE PULLEYS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN THIS YEAR THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO THE CAR TO JEFFY LUBE TO HAVE IT LOOK AT BECAUSE THE BELT WAS SQUEALING THEY CHECK IT OUT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BOLT HAD BROKE OFF AND HALF OF THE BOLT WAS STILL STUCK IN THE HOLE. I HAD THE BOLT AND PULLEY REPLACE THEN. THE SECOND TIME I HAS SITTING IN MY CAR WITH IT ON IN PARKING LOT AND I HEARD SOMETHING POP I GOT OUT POP THE HOOD AND NOTICE THE BELT WAS OFF THE PULLEY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE PULLEYS WAS NOT FITTING PROPERLY IN THE SPACE WHERE IT BELONGS SO IT WAS LOOSENING ITSELF AND THE PULLEYS WAS COMING A LOOSE FROM ITS POSITION ALLOWING THE BELT TO COME OFF I HAD IT FIX. SO THERE HAS TO BE A DEFAULT PROBLEM WITH THE PULLEY OR BOLT OR THE HOLE THAT THE BOLT GOES IN IF THE BOLT KEEPS BREAKING OFF I'M TIRED OF REPLACING THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE TO PAY FOR TOWING, LABOR AND PARTS TO REPAIR SHOPS I'M PRETTY SURE THIS TIME IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM I JUST HADN'T HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TODAY YET SINCE IT JUST HAPPEN I SEARCH TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM HADN'T SEEN ONE YET

I HIT A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING AND THE ABS ENGAGED. THEN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. EVENTUALLY THE BRAKE PEDAL CAME BACK TO NORMAL BUT I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE PEDAL. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED DURING RAIN (NOVEMBER '16) WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. DURING ACTIVATION, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. NEARLY SLID INTO INTERSECTION. FOLLOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR, THE PEDAL CONTINUED TO BE SOFT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. HAVE TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES TO IMPROVE THE SOFTNESS, BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP VERY MUCH. TAKING TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY AS CAR HAS BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. *TR

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) MALFUNCTION. CAR REVS BUT FAILS TO CATCH. CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHTS CAME ON. ONCE CAR STARTED MOVING PEDOMETER DID NOT WORK. WARRANTY ON THIS PART FOR 2009-2014 MODELS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER ALL MODEL YEARS AS THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM BEFORE ON VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE 2009. *TR
