On October 10, 2026, while traveling down the interstate at approximately 80 mph, the dash on my vehicle began flashing the following error messages: service advancetrac, check brake system, service vehicle soon, part brake limited function service required, and precollision assist not available. Also showed multiple service needed icons. The car did not have any brakes. It did not appear to have the hydraulic fail safe functioning either. We put the vehicle in neutral and coasted. Once we slowed down to about 30 mph, the rear brakes only began locking up. We did have park on the transmission. Once we got stopped, we shut the vehicle off, which appeared to reset the electronic issues. We were close to home so we made it safely. On Monday morning, we had it towed to the local Ford dealership. The brakes were working again and the entire brake system checked out fine. They did replace the electronic brake booster and say the issue is now fixed. I have been in contract with Ford motor company, as the vehicle is well within warranty, and they will not complete a buy back - which I disagree with as this should fall under the safety concern umbrella.
Traveling south onxxx toward [xxx] approx 15 miles south of [xxx]. 3 pm. Was in outside lane. Ford blue cruise was engaged. My hands were near the wheel. I noticed a heavy white lane marking coming diagonally from the right outside lane to the inside lane. Evidently this was a painting error. When I approached the abnormal paint line my vehicle swerved abruptly to the left in attempting to follow the lane marking. I was able to grab the wheel at the last moment. With a little force I was able to straighten the vehicle. I believe my vehicle swerved into the inner south lane leading to the median. Fortunately there was no vehicle in the inner lane at the time. I possibly would have collided with another vehicle. No inspection by Ford or inspection independent repair. No warning etc noted. I believe the blue cruise followed the highway paint error. I then turned off cruise for remaining trip. I will be especially cautious when using blue cruise in the future or more than likely never use it again. This paint issue may still be present and other ble cruise users may notice the same safety issue that I did. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
