On Thursday July 2 2020 my Ford Ecosport stalled at a stop light. I was pushed into a parking lot by the local police. I got in the car and it started right up. I talked to a Ford service person and he suggested I disable the auto start. I did as he suggested and drove just fine until I got on the expressway. While I was on the highway the engine stalls and I drove over to the side of the road with barely any steering and no brakes and had to coast to a stop. This was really scary and dangerous.

Radio resets at random when entering the vehicle and when standing near the vehicle. A loud "pop" sound can be heard when this happens and the radio resets itself to am 530. This can happen multiple times a day with no warning as to when except for the above described sound.

The touch sensative door locks don't work in the rain. The key fob must be used when the door handle is wet. This obviously a malfunction and should be looked into by Ford
