| Electronic Stability Control problems |
I was driving normally on the road, when suddenly my steering wheel locked. My steering assist was off, so I forcefully pulled over to the side of the road. Hill assist, service asdvancetrac and steering assist codes went off. Lights for advancetrac and hill assist are still illuminated on the dash until today. It's been a week.
While driving up a hill and attempting to pass another vehicle, I briefly lost acceleration. This happened again a few minutes later, and repeated a couple more times. I had never experienced this issue before and there were no warning indicators, or any other signs of mechanical failure. After happening several times, losing acceleration intermittently without taking my foot off the gas, a warning message displayed "hill assist not available," and then disappeared. No other warning messages or dash indicators appeared, and I could not find anything relating to hill assist in my settings. After parking and shutting off my car, I noticed the brake lights remained on- I could not figure out how to turn them off. I searched all of these issues and found a blog post written by another owner experiencing the same issues. The other owner found small fragments of a broken plastic disc on the floor mat, below the petals- I found the same thing in my car. I went to a nearby auto zone for assistance and was advised the broken piece was a "brake light switch plunger. " one of their associates quickly installed a $3. 00 replacement for me, which seemed to fix all of the issues. I have not yet taken my car to Ford, but plan to do so ASAP. Each time I lost acceleration I was traveling up a hill, and it was only temporary- with no other systems appearing to be affected.
I was like I was dreaming when after I was woke up in the hospital and there was a lot of time missing you know I can remember at the every little thing I was missing a lot of time before we went out and the wreck you know right after a couple of days of being conscious and never should have wrecked you know and it just it just let nothing making no sense and then it all come clear I was knocked out before the wreck an example of a how I don't know why I don't know all I know is I was knocked out a couple of thousands of a second before the red cuz I missed you too much of it.
When traveling at 65 miles a hour the airbag light, traction control lights and abs light came on the vehicle also lost power steering. I was told that because the airbag light was on the airbags would not function. Dealers report that rear driver hub driver side caused the issue. Dealer refused to cover under warranty even though airbag system was still under warranty.

After driving approximately 5 miles at highway speed, several warning indicators illuminate, including advancetrak unavailable, the abs indicator, traction control indicator, and air bag indicator. All of these systems become unavailable.
