Description of the problem | While i was driving on the interstate, in the left most lane, there was road on the side of the road sighted ahead that was extending into the left lane i was traveling in. To avoid the upcoming lane infringement, i needed to accelerate to change lanes to the right of me. I had plenty of room to execute evasive maneuvers; the 2020 explorer st however, did not allow me to change lanes and instead applied the brakes and froze my ability to steer - almost causing an accident. This has happened twice on the interstate. I took the vehicle to ford - no explanation/cannot find a problem. The vehicle also unexpectedly breaks when nothing is near it. This also happens in reverse. The car will not let me reverse out of my garage - nothing is anywhere near it!!! I have to turn the car off and restart it to clear its sensors. Nothing is there!!! I have had the car about 7 months and only have about 2000 miles on the car. I |
