24 Pages is a lot to read through. Can someone that has been active in this thread summarize it for me? With 2 babies at home, I don't have a lot of time to read this forum .
Is there a recall in place?
Does it affect 2013 Ex models?
Have there been serious accidents?
Anything else?
I saw a class action lawsuit ad on Facebook for this issue, I posted it in a separate thread so it would be seen. Hopefully nobody has been injured due to these malfunctions.
No recall right now and it doesn't look like Ford is going to initiate anything on their own since they don't think it's a safety issue.
At least two people have reported their 2013s having the issue, but it definitely doesn't seem to be as widespread. It may just take more time for the issue to show up in the newer ones.
There has been at least one accident, tropicvi, who posted further down, although I don't believe anyone was seriously hurt. And even worse, he's stuck with the repair bill (I think, anyway...and it's $18K).
All I have to say is it's pretty sad Ford isn't taking the high road on this problem. Luckily for my mom, she got her's fixed in a few days and there haven't been any problems since. But it seems to be one of those problems that usually starts with some more time on the parts.
