When coming to a stop or just braking, the "check brake system" alarm will come on. Here are some more facts about this occurrence.
- It's almost completely idiosyncratic.
- It seems more likely to happen when the weather changes (happens a lot in Texas.)
- Sometimes it does this rapidly while I'm at a red light
- Sometimes my entire engine just shuts off, no power steering etc..(while under 10 mph, can easily pop it into neutral and start the car all the while still moving/braking)
- Mechanics are baffled (I have new brake pads, brake fluid, codes are fine, etc)
- Sometimes I won't even be braking and the radio will cut out and come back on
- I don't need to really worry about it if I'm on the highway (going pretty fast)
- Sometimes it will just go away for about a few months to a year, regardless of the weather
- It's genuinely a liability
car starts to stall, dashboard warning lights come on...more than just one,,,then car shuts off/dies while I am driving. I then shut it off and restart until the next time it happens.
has anyone found a solution for this issue, ford is aware of the problem, they tell me they do not have a solution. Car runs great them tries to stall, gauges flat line, all the warning lights flash and the alarm goes off. some times it will quit and act like nothing is wrong, other times it will stall. so far it has restarted and ran fine, it has gotten worse and more frequent. Is anyone interested in a class action suit against ford?
Electrical system lights start blinking and changing, then check brake lights appear, then alarm warning, then vehicle cuts off during highway driving but immediately starts up as if there was no problem, the problem starts up all over again. I can drive the vehicle for days without a problem and then the problem comes back. I have had the computer system rebooted to no avail today. I am still attempting to find a solution.
