Although no accident occurred, the failures present a very dangerous situation, particularly when trying to accelerate; merging into traffic, entering interstate, etc Ford is aware of this dangerous situation and has not addressed it adequately. There are currently four technical service bulletins (tsbs) issued by Ford related to this complaint.
