The indiana alpr tracking system causes electrical malfunctions including the abs brake system and various other unknown malfunctions. the abs module has failed on the subject vehicle and the alpr attacks continue. these alpr attacks are initiated by electrical apparatus on top of telephne poles and on police cars. these attacks can be heard by sudden unexpected loud thumping on my dashboard which could cause an accident in addition to the abs brake system failure. these attacks occur both in motion and when stationary. the thumping is expecially surprising in traffic and could easily cause an accident. plus, i do not have abs protection on slick roads

My van has a problem with water, that is when it rains the vehicle starts having problems with several components. (ie engine misfire, transmission fails to shift properly, door looks refuse to operate properly, among other weird things) this happens every time it rains. the problem as i have being able to trace it, is that the water that comes off the front windshield and into the plastic that covers the cowl area ( where the wipers are) drips on to the main electric wire harness connection that comes from the inside of the car and connects to the engine bay wire harness. as the wire harness connector gets wet, the vehicle starts acting up. i took the van to my mechanic but he was unable to find a problem, it was dry. i took the vehicle to a ford dealer and, to my surprise, they knew about the problem but told me i had to pay the repair because its covered on a technical service bulletin (tsb 06-14-10) but its not a recall. how can this not be a recall when the van is going along well and as soon as it starts ...

Whenever it rains or is humid the van sputters, dies, struggles to speed up and shift. my family was nearly hit when our van died in the middle of an intersection during a rain storm.

Had the recall for the torque converter done and now my vehicle shakes, sputters. won't accelerate, the rpms jump up high, very loud noises coming from underneath vehicle. sometimes it will stall out. can't go past 25-30 mph if it even gets up to that! my vehicle ran perfect before taking it into the ford dealership and ever since i got it back we have had this problem. took it back to ford and they tried to say it was throttle cable so had that fixed and it still is doing the same things as it did after the torque converter was replaced. can't drive the vehicle because when i go to accelerate it doesn't go or get up to the correct mph. the whole vehicle shakes really bad and the noises it makes are very loud and sound like something is going to blow up. i think the torque converter they replaced it with is bad and they need to fix this problem and man up and quit trying to blame it on other things. they messed up and need to fix it.

This vehicle i received numerous recalls and had many problems with this vehicle. major electrical problems. when it would rain and get car wash the electrical system would malfunction and cause engine not to run properly and check engine light would come on. in april of 2016 engine was malfunctioning and caused me to get in accident. this vehicle has since been impounded and loan company santander trying to bill me for remainder of loan and now causing major credit issues. i would like this to be covered by ford/carmax for selling my family an unsafe vehicle which could have resulted in critical injury or worse.
