Over the last week I have had several incidents where hill desent control has randomly engaged (when disabled at switch) for
no reason - resulting in the transmission and throttle going into a 'limp mode' type state that suddenly slows the car with the
hill desent light being suddenly illuminated on the cluster. The first few times, I thought I maybe enabled the feature by accident
on the center console. It just happened a few minutes ago after a full stop and then light acceleration to about 20 mph. Felt like
I down shifted to low and I had to pull to the curb. I put in park, manually disabled hill desent from the console switch which
extinguished the hill desent cluster light, and drove 5 miles homes without issues.
Anyone seen this scenario? I am 6 months in this truck and love it - but must admit that the past month I have developed a bunch of
squeaks and rattles, decreasing gas mileage, and now this desent issue. The troubling thing about all these problems are that they
happen randomly where the chance of a ford service tech isolating any of them is slim at best.
Any advice at this point is good advice - I will take it.
