The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Electrical system problem. There does not seem to be a trigger in regard to rain, hot, or cold weather conditions or how it is being driven. I have had a Ford dealership work on this to no avail. I will start with the safety aspect that is affected. It will do all of these things at once and then slowly come back online, sometimes the errors do not correct themselves. 1. no brake lights 2. no rear turn signal 3. no heat/air (it will turn on and off) - which is bad in inclement weather for old people 4. brake light, traction control light, tire pressure monitor, service engine, all have errors. 5. radio will turn on and off. It will cycle through these things failing, they may fail multiple times per minute or just stay in fail mode, or they may just correct themselves. This started to happen infrequently and slowly stepped up to very frequently. I will attach a link to a youtube video that will show my car. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=-1zqr4wbvqw

The operating frequency of pwm (pulse width modulation) led's (light emitting diode) is too low for some viewers! the external lighting does not comply with FMVSS no. 108 specifies that lamps must be steady burning. Ford has failed to meet this requirement making for a very unsafe vehicle for night time driving. This affects them and other drivers being near this vehicle with the diminished safety margin. Note: All newer Ford's (car's, police cars, buses, tow trucks, truck, etc...) using led's are at fault, the operating frequency is to low making for a very dangerous night time situation!!!!! this must be reviewed and corrected.
