Ford F-150 Electronic Stability Control Safety Report | Apr 18, 2013
Reported on Apr 18, 2013
| I WENT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE AND ONLY HAD A SHORT DISTANCE TO PASS. I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN, TRUCK WAS COASTING, AND THE ORANGE TRACTION SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO FINISH PASSING. THIS WAS IN CARLSBAD, NM. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY SAID THERE NOTHING SHOWED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER, BUT THEY DID TRY TO CHARGE ME $150 LABOR. I REFUSED TO PAY, BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE DRIVING INTO CARLSBAD. I HAVE TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT ONCE SINCE, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUTDOWN. *TR | |
