I lost all power including lights, speedometer, and power steering.

The brake pedal would not budge until suddenly after the vehicle completely…

   Brakes grab hard at 4 MPH. I've had to software updates from a Ford dealer. It helps for about 100 miles then comes back. Initially, the software was put in because the brakes were grabbing dangerously at a fast speed and I would often hear a loud bang. But the software got rid of that issue and now left me with the current brake issue at 4 MPH. It sometimes causes a "hard stop". I have recently brought it into two different Ford dealerships to be checked out. One said,…

    The brakes are grabby during low speed driving (5mph). It occurs during slow turns, pulling into parking spaces, going through a restaurant drive-thru, etc. In this situation, you typically keep your foot on the brake pedal and slowly let off to move forward and then equally apply the brakes to stop. When this problem occurs, when you are trying to apply the brakes the normal amount of pressure isn't enough, so you press harder and harder until the vehicle stops in a lurch,…
