| Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | On adaptive cruise control, since new, the vehicle brakes are applied when passing an 18 wheel truck/trailer (sometimes) causing a rapid 15-20 mph hard braking decrease in speed jolting and scaring the occupants of the ford. Nearly rear ended several times. Have contacted ford but they did not care nor were they concerned that this is a safety issue. Very dangerous going from 65 to 45 while passing another vehicle and cars are behind me. This is a random occurrence making it even more scary. This has happened too many times to count since 2015 and i am afraid to use the adaptive cruise control for fear of being hit from behind on the highway. |
