While parking in a parking lot of a local store I pulled into a spot and stopped about 2 feet from a bumper post. I removed my foot from the brake pedal to pull closer to the post. The car began to idle forward. When I was as close to the post as I intended I stepped on the brake. The car continued to idle forward until I hit the post causing very minor damage to the hood of my car. After hitting the post I was stopped. I put the car in reverse and took my foot off the brake. The vehicle did not moved so i touched the gas intending to back up a foot or so. The car picked up speed. I braked, but the car continued to pick up speed. I pressed harder on the brake, feeling as though I was standing on it. The car did not stop nor slow down. While feeling as though I was standing on the brake the car sped up I would estimate to 5-7 mph. I traveled straight back across the drive lane and continued to back into the parking spot behind me and hit the bumper in that parking causing damage to my lift gate and miscellaneous electrical components and the rear bumper. I have a repair estimate for $3400. I reported to the store personnel, the local police, and was examined by emergency medical. It was determined there was no damage to store property and medical personnel found my blood pressure was mildly elevated and the I felt slightly disoriented, but otherwise tested normal. I can only surmise that this was a temporary software malfunction. Braking has returned to normal. I talked to a ford dealer's Rep and he did not know what could have caused it. He also advised I could have diagnostics started for $278. I could not afford it at that time. Please note that the police officer said i could pick up the police report, but i have not done so.

Speed sign recognition reads wrong speed. Reads 45 mph when speed limit is actually 70mph. Automatically slows down to 45 mph. Also drops to 25mph in 35 mph zone. Had it checked at dealer and they say all settings normal. Checked for Mfg updates and it says all up to date. Happens several times a week.

The electrical components in my dashboard and computer system are shutting off while I am driving. -??Charging System Service Soon-?? alert pops up but I have had my battery checked multiple times. The glitches are inconsistent and can happen 1-20 times during a 30 minute drive. When it glitches, I can not see my speedometer or anything else on my dash. It occasionally turns off my slippery mode, it almost stalled once and occasionally my steering wheel locks up. I reached out to 10-15 dealerships near the Detroit Metro areas and none of them have rental cars to provide me to assist with diagnosis. They all tell me if it-??s part of the 12V battery degradation recall they can-??t do anything until the remedy comes out. But that is reported as Q2 at the earliest. This is my only mode of transportation and it is a huge safety risk.

Driving on the highway for an hour the speed control kept switching from the speed limit to 20 mph and rapidly decelerating my vehicle. I would reset the speed then everything would repeat, it started 2 weeks ago with one instance. It happened 8ish times between Idaho falls Idaho and Pocatello Idaho

My vehicle started with not accelerating and bogging down when going after a stop, it shakes/jerks from 1-3 gear. The rpm-??s jump all over the place and at times it will be very low speed, jerking when trying to shift. I haven-??t even had the car two years, I have two children and this happened at an intersection and scared us all. It had happened so many times I-??m scared to drive it. I took it to a ford dealership, they were able to recreate the issue and said it may be the transmission. There are now warning lights on or anything indicating what the issue is. They told me to keep driving it until a code comes up or to wait till June when they can inspect it. It just keeps getting worst.

The car intermittently will stop and wont accelerate, usually when in drive-?? on inclines, after slowing down. Dealer can-??t diagnose the problem and it-??s getting worse. It jerks and it-??s dangerous to drive.
