(reported on)

Explorer XLT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,400 miles

Vehicle's ABS, Stability, and wrench warning lights came on while I was traveling about 35 miles an hour. Had previous warning light problems - just a sensor issue with no real problem.

I turned into a parking lot and the vehicle would not travel more than 2 miles an hour with a grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. Dealership reported the the sensor ring had cracked
