| Description of the problem | I have a 2016 ford f150. 4 times now the auto breaking system engaged for no reason. 3 of the times i was driving in cruise control down a straight section of highway 80 going to lake tahoe, the auto breaking system engaged for no reason while passing a semi truck. The latest auto breaking episode almost killed us, we were driving back from lake tahoe on hwy 80, (cruise control was not no), when we were passing a semi truck on a curve in the two lane highway going about 70 miles per hour when the auto breaking system engaged for no reason and slowed our truck down form 70 to about 35 miles per hour in just 1-2 seconds.... I was not able to override by flooring the accelerator for at least 2-4 seconds.... A semi truck behind us came within inches from rear ending us!! This issue needs to be addressed by ford. Its a huge safety issue!! |
