Expedition

  • 136,000 miles
Initially, while applying the brakes on dry pavement, the ABS would engage intermittently. The front brakes were replaced after this happened. Unfortunately, it continued to occur intermittently. After which, the ABS light would light up. The rear ABS sensor was replaced and it still continued to happen, but the brake pedal would be hard initially but could be pushed through. A bearing was replaced on the frontend. The ABS would continue to engage randomly. Now, after the vehicle has been driven, then sat for 15-30 minutes, and then driven again, the ABS will engage--but then the brake pedal is very hard and difficult to push. The ABS light comes on. Our mechanic is now using his "tech hotline" to learn how to fix this.
