Ford vehicle shuts off sporadically with multiple warning lights while driving and stationary. the brakes also seize up to the point where they over heat and could catch fire. the most recent event happened may 15th after picking the car up from my local repair shop to try and repair what ford dealerships has not been able to repair. it shut off on the way home. may 16th the brakes locked up. this issue has been going on for a over a year. my vehicle has been to several repair shops and was recently at auto nation ford in union city ga for over a month awaiting a part that never showed up. i picked the vehicle up and took it to another local shop that was able to secure the part and replace it, but that still did not fix the problem. so far, i've spent upwards of $8000 in the span of a year and the issue still has not been resolve. repairs from brake pads and rotors to the calipers and hydraulic system and even a full 4x4 transfer case asymbley so far none of the repairs has worked. it has shut off in the past while driving to work on the express way in heavy traffic areas. this vehicle is just unsafe to drive. i searched the internet and found other videos of ford owners that are also going through this issue with the same results. i have video which is the best visual since there are multiple warnings that pop up.
When we touch the brakes, from starting position or when in motion, the electrical components in the dash flash and flicker or turn off, the headlights turn off, there is a clicking noise in the doors, the windows won't roll up or down, the ac turns off, the radio turns off, and you can't switch gears (gear shift won't move). i'd need to upload a video for you to see it. it always happens when using the brakes and has been happening for over a year.
