I received a recall notice (18s08 recall 18v-167) in may of 2018, ironically right after my charging device melted in my garage outlet. Ford has said for months that they would have this resolved by 2019. I went two weeks ago to my deal and they still have no update as to when this will be resolved. I have not been able to charge my car at home in a year!!! This is not acceptable...

Imagine driving at normal speed when suddenly you suffer complete engine power loss. The power steering, braking, lighting and climate control systems remain fully functional so you have no clear clue on what is occurring, however you know the vehicle no longer remains operational and you come to a complete stop in the middle of the road.

Started car and several warnings popped up on display... Something about "hill assist" not available, "steering assist fault service required", and "service advancetrac". Steering wheel felt like it was still locked... Turns out it was just extremely difficult to turn. I'm 6'3" 200+ lbs. If it's difficult for me to turn, it would be impossible for most people. If this had failed while the car was in motion, someone…
