Description of the problem | Vehicle equipped with a 3. 5l ecoboost v6 engine had an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (mil), powertrain malfunction (wrench) lamp, service advancetrac message, hill start assist not available message, and lack of power with diagnostic trouble code p0107 (map faulty). Occurred while pulling away from a red light without warning. This disabled the vehicle in middle of intersection and power steering was lost. Vehicle lurched erratically and had to be pushed to safety then towed to dealer. Very unsafe as it literally died and steering went out without warning!!! Initially towed to colley ford in glendora, ca. That dealer was so horrific to deal with, we had the suv immediately towed (again) to puente hills, ca dealer. Unacceptable handling by colley ford. |
