Power steering suddenly failed and the service advancetrac light came on while accelerating from a stop sign and turning left. Maneuvered the car down the street and couldn't navigate the driveway so I backed up and the power steering began working but the advancetrac light remained on. This light came on before but with no effect to the steering only the blinkers, which would not stay on. Disconnected the battery and light and problem went away. Spoke with the dealer and was told that it was also connected to the ABS braking system and to schedule an appointment if these happens again. 114800 miles.

Secondary timing chain link came apart soon after I bought the truck in 2015 at 66,000 miles my warranty paid for it. Now it is happening again but on the other side of the engine. 2 time chain links fall apart. Ford is not paying for this because my warranty was up 2 months ago and it is not a pre certified truck, miles are 120,066 miles. 2 timing chain links break in 4 years"??????" the technicians at santa maria Ford said they have never seen anything like this before. Ford is denying to pay for this repair!!!!!!!

Had recall preformed it still is dropping into 1st gear while driving complaint number: 11181584
- Bemidji, MN, USA
Transmission - output speed sensor is faulty. Had a recall, said the transmission module needed reprogramming, however this did not fix issue of downshifting to 1st gear and unable to shift out of. Also happens to 3rd and 5th. Other 2012's have lead frame assembly replacement which takes care of faulty output speed sensor, my recall of re-programming has all the symptoms of the lead frame recall but is just outside the manufacture date and not included

Twice now (I just purchased it less than 30 days ago) while backing out of my driveway I had to stand on the brakes to stop the vehicle. No power brakes were present. No lights on dash, no warning, ....no nothing.
- Carleton, MI, USA
Driver side rear window shattered while sitting still in a parking lot with vehicle not running. The rear window is a 3 piece sliding window with rear defrost and factory tint. The vehicle had just been turned off after driving with the rear defroster on. Approximately 2-3 minutes after turning the vehicle off I heard a load boom and after investigating found it to be the rear glass shattering. After researching the condition, it seems to be a common problem on these vehicles after running the rear defroster.
