problem #1

Jul 222016

Focus SE 1.0L 3 cyl Ecoboost

  • Manual transmission
  • 1,600 miles

My car's RCM (restraint control module) failed suddenly in July 2016. The dashboard lit up loud alarms and four error lights or messages:

1. Airbag warning light

2. Traction control warning light

3. Service beltminder (that's the seatbelt sensor)

4. Hill start assist unavailable (and the hill start assist indeed stopped working)

I took the car to the local dealership, where they determined that the car was unsafe to drive and needed a replacement RCM. They tried to find the part, and then ordered one when they couldn't find it anywhere. That was over 8 weeks ago, and I still have no car. No information on whether my part has even been manufactured yet, where it's manufactured, or how long that might take.
