SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I SUSPECT THAT MY 2019 FORD ECOSPORT COMPUTER SYSTEM/CAR IS BEING HACKED/DRIVEN REMOTELY. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR IT IS TURNING IN DIRECTIONS WHEN I AM NOT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE BRAKES ARE FAILING SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO USE THEM, AS WELL AS THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED WHEN I AM NOT USING THEM, THE DIGITAL DISPLAYS AND RADIO SETTINGS ARE CHANGING WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING, THE CAR IS REDUCING SPEED AND SPEED ACCELERATING WHEN I AM NOT CONTROLLING THEM FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, SO I WILL INPUT TODAYS DATE ON THE FORM. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND PA STATE INSPECTION ALL COMPONENTS AND PARTS ARE FUNCTIONING ACCORDINGLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEING INDICATED. I AM LOOKING TO HAVE THE HACKING ISSUE INVESTIGATED. I AM ALSO SENDING INFORMATION TO THE FBI INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER.

ON THURSDAY JULY 2 2020 MY FORD ECOSPORT STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAS PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT BY THE LOCAL POLICE. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TALKED TO A FORD SERVICE PERSON AND HE SUGGESTED I DISABLE THE AUTO START. I DID AS HE SUGGESTED AND DROVE JUST FINE UNTIL I GOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STALLS AND I DROVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH BARELY ANY STEERING AND NO BRAKES AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS WAS REALLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.
