| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING AT A NORMAL SPEED, THE ELECTRICAL PANEL HAS STARTED DISPLAYING "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. THIS WAS HAPPENING SPORADICALLY BUT HAS SINCE STARTED HAPPENING MORE CONSISTENTLY. IT HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 3/22/2013, WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN A VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE I PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR, EVERYTHING APPEARS NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. ON 3/23/2013 IT HAPPENED TWICE IN LESS THAN 5 MILES. *TR |
| 2011 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM TEXAS MOTORS FORD, FORT WORTH, TX ON OR ABOUT JULY 13, 2011. APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS LATER, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN, ON OCTOBER 24, 2011, AFTER COMING TO A STOP IN MY GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SWITCHED FROM ELECTRIC POWER TO GAS POWER AND LUNGED FORWARD INTO THE CABINET ON THE FRONT WALL OF MY GARAGE, DESPITE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK MY (HAD IT TOWED) VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON THE SAME DAY. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD ADVISED ME OVER THE PHONE NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, BUT HAD REPAIRED THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. ABOUT TEN MONTHS LATER (AUGUST 13, 2012), AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY SURGEON'S OFFICE AT 7257 HAWKINS VIEW DR. (HARRIS SW), FORT WORTH, TX, THE VEHICLE, AFTER I WAS STOPPED, AGAIN SURGED INTO GAS MODE, JUMPED THE CURB AND RAN INTO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE BUILDING, DOING STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AND THE WINDOW DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WE TOOK 35 PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE AND BUILDING AT THAT TIME. *TR |
