I checked the alternator and battery and they were fine.

Then restarted it and plugged in OBD II scanner. Still when I got my house and the car was still running the window wouldn't even go up. As I turned on my street the car started to shut down (engine) so I was trying to play with the gas pedal and then suddenly all lights came back on and the car took off like a bat out of hell.

Ok it was dark and I had to shine a flashlight out of the drivers side window just so on coming traffic could see me. I was able to jump start it, but while driving home, less than 2 miles thank GOD the headlights and everything else went out, but car was still running. Stopped at the grocery store and when I went to start the car it was like the battery was dead. After that, within a few days the battery light came on (never came on while the alternator was bad.) Novemwhile coming home the ABS light came on, then the radio went off and the engines started running rough. In July 2016 the alternator was replaced. Over the years it did go through batteries to often. I will not buy another car with this setup ever again.īought this SUV new. If this would have happened while crossing an intersection it could have killed someone. Can we say FORD Has a Cash Cow!!! Come on Ford get a fuse option out there to prevent this from happening. 9 out of 10 owners trade in their car and swear to never buy FORD again.this was a 30 min fix for me, but the Dealer swears they charge by the hour which confuses me as to why they charge $2500 to $3000 for this fix. They said this is a very common occurrence in there shop often. The dealership knew which car I had just by the description of my problem. All the rest was done right out of the garage. There was no way to flash the computer myself, the dealer had to do this. THIS FIXED THAT PROBLEM!!! So in my family we have always done our own automotive work and do not mind getting dirty.This fix is not hard to do by any standards. Proceeded to have the computer flashed and the oil changed. I then made the plunge and purchased a new computer online. Checked all top end seals and gaskets and came up with nothing. Changed individual coils with still no results. Replaced all the plugs, still no results. There was no Exhaust leak but I did find a bad vacuum line, I replaced it with no results. Figured it needed new spark plugs and the exhaust looked over. Try the easy fix first it may save you $65 per side.Ĭar started stuttering and ran rough, the engine noise made it sound like the exhaust had a hole in it sending vibration throughout the car. If it doesn't then it may be the sensor which is like $75. That one stinking ring will make all your issues go away. YouTube this fix, They have a great video on this fix, but they don't show the superglue trick. The super glue will prevent water and debris from getting in the middle and work that ring off again. If you don't do this step you will be replacing this ring every 3 to 5 months. take some super glue and put it in between the seating surface and the ring, let it dry. They should have a diagram showing where that part goes, just in case yours broke off all together. Now you know which side and you bought that $10 tone ring the real fun begins.

9 times out of 10 the tone ring has cracked and moved or broke off completely. They will say its a bad sensor, ASK THEM WHICH SIDE!!! Then purchase a tone ring. This is not a huge fix but it is a pain in the Butt. Before it shuts off you get that old fashioned 4X4 sticky tire as you turn until it shuts off. So the light kicks on the warnings come across as, 4X4 Issue, ABS Brake issue, and 4X4 Shut Off.
