Control module for the powertrain is malfunctioning causing problems with overall driving vehicle. I was getting lunch and while driving back to the office a wrench sensor showed up on my dash. I stopped and had to look up what the icon meant and apparently it had something to do with the powertrain on my vehicle. I immediately called the dealership and had it looked at. They informed me it was a control module problem and ordered a new one for me.

I have a service advance trac warning light that comes on randomly and then disappears. I have had it to the dealership 2 times for a total of 5 weeks and they couldn't find out what was wrong with it. It never popped up an error code for the message. Finally the light stayed on so I took out to them and they were able to pull a code. Once they got the code Ford started that there was no fix for the issue and I am out of luck. I have filed a complaint with Ford who said unless it happens more frequently we cant do anything for you. This typically happens while the vehicle is in motion. When it happens it disables the traction control as well as toe mode, eco mode, snow mode, sport mode. Happens at all speeds and nothing seems to trigger the issue.

During a head on collision the airbags attempted to deploy though did not, instead the drivers pillar airbag system caught fire, melting through the seatbelt sending flames up the side of the drivers seat, which prevented the fuel disconnect system from engaging as well it did not dial 911 from the connected phone as it should have after the crash.
