The warning lights intermittently come on in April 2018. Mostly check engine for several months. Took to auto zone got a read out for sensor. But aaa repair shop wouldn't use their report and when I took it to them, light wasn't on. So they didn't look at it. Was gone out of town 6 months. Light off and on. Randomly. Oct 2018, heading cross country back home to az. Lights started coming on more often. More lights, abs, skid, seat belt, within the week, very random off and on. Then more lights would come on. Auto zone again gave me a sensor report, O2 and fuel. While waiting in bank line,, whole panel of lights came on. Acted staled, but was running, could push gas and run, but couldn't steer, babied to a parking spot, even the mileage odometer went to slash marks and no numbers. I took a photo. Turned car off and waited to try to call for assistance. But after few minutes, worked fine. That next week, I was driving on freeway and it did the exact same thing, whole panel came on, dashes for numbers and no steering> scared to death. Still could push gas and braked, few seconds felt like minutes. Lights went out and car drove fine. Left at a mechanic and he changed oxygen sensor, diagnosed the stalling, check engine light back on and other codes. R/r oxygen sensor, air/fuel system service flush, and computer / programming update. Ran me $568. 70. Lights still randomly come on, brake abs, skid, and the parking brake light comes on. I parked the car and bought a new one. Where can I take it. I need to sell it to help pay for other car, but don't want someone to get hurt while driving this one. I looked up kbb and saw 3 recalls on one was pcsm sensor and when I called Ford dealer, he said no recalls for it. Please help. I'm desperate.

Abs light and engine light came on while driving and vehicle shut down completely. Towed to shop to have replaced the alternator and battery bad. Since then 3- alternators, 2- batteries, 3- O2 sensors, and an airbag light that blinks on and off and illuminates when you honk the horn on the steering wheel. Also when turning on headlights, all dash lights and stereo console lights dim to almost invisible. Took to 4 different Ford dealerships and no one can figure out the problem!!!! this company should realize this car is a lemon, and back their workmanship. And blow this car up !!!.
