Everything comes from nowhere at any time of the day or night and it starts from AdvanceTrac warning message, followed by problems with turning signals and then my dashboard starts rock and roll :). All kind of bogus error messages like "low engine oil pressure", "engine coolant overheating", "lane keeping system fauit", "starting module fault", "ocupant sensor blocked", "service advance trac".... and whatever you can imagine. This video was recorded, when was doing 65 mils on the highway, When you stop a car, there is no way to cranck it again, you have to reset somewhere around 26 error codes in 11 modules, thats what dealer did. Haven't heard about any fix from my dealer, everything was blamed on me for using to many DC outlets at that same time. Oh I forgot to say, they washed my car
I think, there is a problem with AdvanceTrac. This is a common problem reported on many web forums. A sensor in the steering rack is not able to determine the direction that the wheels are pointing and generates the alarm. The indicators will not work whilst the alarm is on unless the stalk is held in place. The error can sometimes be reset but restarting the car but not always. This deficiency is well know by Ford and many dealers yet Ford refuses to acknowledge the problem with a tsb or recall action. The sensor can not be changed so the entire steering rack assembly needs to be replaced at over $1500.
On top of this, there is a factory recall on bad steering sensor and faulty rack and pinion http://repairpal.com/recall/15V340000 , but dealer is unawere ot it and plays a game with me. Just curious and this is a question to Ford motor company, what will happen if one day i crash this car?
