Defect Description:
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
A software glitch is causing lag in the instrument panel which displays the speed and turn indicators. Both are experiencing 'lag' or 'skipping', so the speedometer is not updating in real-time and regularly displays inaccurate speed information. To elaborate, as I accelerate, the indicated speed jumps with the worst experienced so far being 28mph to 60mph. The car will do the same decelerating. The turn indicators/hazard light indicators are also lagging and not displaying correctly. The Ford dealership was not able to resolve the issue after resetting several systems and attempting a software update.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Approximately 90 seconds after startup, every speaker emitted a deafening sound that can be described as a high-powered air compressor. The sound was debilitating, and in the moment it felt like the car would explode (solely from sound, no visible defects). The vehicle was in motion, and could have caused a wreck under different conditions. The issue continued even after turning off then restarting the car. The issue stopped once disconnecting/reconnecting the battery. There was never an error message or any other warning, other than the sound. The dealership was unable to recreate the issue, resulting in no repair action. The problem has not recurred as of 12 months later; however, I still get nervous when driving the vehicle.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
It is far too easy to accidentally hit and activate cruise control button on the steering wheel when turning. If your thumb brushes up against the button the car can continue moving when you expect it to be slowing down either coasting or staying at the same speed when using 1-pedal driving. This could easily cause an accident when coming up to a turn and someone is crossing the street or similar situation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Complete loss of power while driving on a congested road. Started as a couple error warnings for different systems like the front camera and then all of a sudden told me to pull over immediately. Luckily we had just turned off the highway, but barely got to the side of the road before we lost power. For a little while the accessories worked, but we eventually lost ALL power to include our hazards. Since we were sitting in a very dangerous areas as people off ramped the highway, this put us directly in danger. Ford handled roadside assistance well, but the dealer treated us like a nuisance and despite the car being towed there and they being fore warned, they still acted like we were an annoyance. Despite promising loaner on the phone, when we arrived they decided they had none. We had to threaten turning in the car under Hawaii lemon laws to get assistance. This car has under 300 miles and had a 90% charge. We leased it a month ago. Given the prior complaints, this issue clearly hasn’t been resolved OR this dealer chose to not take care of the recalls.
