| Traction Control System problems |
The abs light always goes on after 15-29 miles of driving, which was verified by goodyear dealer. They recommended me to go to the Ford dealer because they don't have necessary equipment to diagnose the problem. So I came to the quick lane at 11200 james swart circle, fairfax, va. They called me back in 2 hours and said that everything is fine with my car and completely ignored a written statement from goodyear that the abs light came on after 12 miles of driving. Then they told me that they will keep checking, 2 days past, nobody bothered to call me. I think it's a nice denial strategy: they fail to detect what is wrong and therefore they are not responsible for a problem and dont have to fix it. Obviously its not concern of theirs that my Mustang or every Mustang I've driven engages traction control every time I have to turn up to a little hill on a wet road. . . . I don't even have to mention slippery conditions during winter season. Thats why I always appreciated this feature, but now its turning itself off and wont come back on until the engine is off for a while. I've read multiple people complaining about this, but Ford conveniently doesn't care about any of this. . . This is your car and you are stuck with it. . . I take it as Ford motor company complete failure to provide drivers safety. Do I have to wait for an incident to happen or some preventive measures can be taken?.
