What owners report
Following the execution of mandatory Emissions Recall 25E01 (PCM Reprogramming) by a Ford dealership, my vehicle suffered a severe network software corruption causing unintended engine acceleration and a sticking throttle. The engine holds its RPMs and continues holding until I release my foot off the gas pedal and when the car is placed in reverse the car puts/jerks. Additionally, the electronic trunk latch fires spontaneously , causing the trunk lid to fly open while in motion and/or while the car is off and locked along with other electrical issues. When the trunk opens after Iâve locked and secured my car, it has caused my car battery to drain overnight and required multiple jumps befo
Sudden Loss of Power Steering Assistance and Simultaneous ABS/AdvanceTrac System Faults I am submitting this complaint to document a serious vehicle safety incident involving my 2014 Ford Fusion SE. The vehicle experienced a loss of communication with the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), accompanied by faults affecting the ABS and traction/stability control systems. During the incident, the dashboard illuminated multiple warning lights, and the steering suddenly became extremely difficult to operate. The simultaneous loss of power steering assistance and warnings involving critical vehicle safety systems created a serious potential crash hazard, particularly at highway speeds or during

The vehicle's dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, steering suddenly becomes incredibly heavy, and the safety nets designed to prevent a rollover or spin-out turn off at the exact same moment. Lives are absolutely being put at risk. Because Ford has chosen to handle this through expensive, individual part replacements rather than a massive federal recall, the burden of safety has been unfairly shifted onto the consumer. W
