  • 2,000 miles
I suspect that my 2019 Ford Ecosport computer system/car is being hacked/driven remotely. When I am driving the car it is turning in directions when I am not moving the steering wheel, the brakes are failing sometimes when I go to use them, as well as the brakes being applied when I am not using them, the digital displays and radio settings are changing without me doing anything, the car is reducing speed and speed accelerating when I am not controlling them from inside the vehicle. This started several months ago, so I will input todays date on the form. When I have taken the car for service and pa state inspection all components and parts are functioning accordingly without any problems being indicated. I am looking to have the hacking issue investigated. I am also sending information to the fbi internet crime complaint center.

  • 9,300 miles
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ecosport. After driving approximately 30 to 40 mph with the cruise control activated, the speed drastically reduced. Also, while the cruise control was set at 78 mph, the speed erroneously decelerated to 74 mph. The vehicle was taken to mullinax Ford (2317 state rd 44, new smyrna beach, fl), but they were unable to duplicate the failures. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 9,300.
