ODI #11426697

Incident: July 16, 2021 · Filed: July 27, 2021

Whenever I drive the vehicle, I get a 'Service Advance Trac' error message and the cruise control / stability control system stops working, and the vehicle gets difficult to drive. This occurs in regulat conditions at highway speeds. It appears to be a very common problem that Ford has not addressed. I have not been to the dealer yet because the nearest Ford Truck center is over 100 miles away and appointments are 3 months out.
