Searching by VIN: [xxx] number of open recalls: 0 but searching by make, model, and model year I found this recall: www-ODI.NHTSA.dot.gov/owners/searchresults;jsessionid=sj1qww1gvddycs6xggchztlty2tn4kjkbpxv1gcs9vg9xl8B1zt5!857755995?prodtype=V&searchtype=prod&targetcategory=a&searchcriteria.model=Explorer&stats=215181%2C11%2C3%2C1611%2C236%2cexplorer&makestats=&jsonbaseurl=%2fdownloads%2ffolders%2F&searchcriteria.model_yr=1996&searchcriteria.make=Ford&searchcriteria.prod_ids=215181 report receipt date: Oct 13, 2009 NHTSA campaign number: 09V399000 component(s): Vehicle speed control the dealership shop and with your chat representative tried to convince me that the recalls are only by VIN even tough in your web-site it says: "besides the VIN search tool you just used, NHTSA offers additional safety information based on a vehicle's make, model, and model year and not tied to any particular VIN. A search by vehicle make, model, and model year gives you access to information about technical service bulletins, NHTSA investigations, and owner complaints, as well as safety recalls on aftermarket equipment that is often not linked to a particular VIN or even to your vehicle's manufacturer.

When attempting to press the brakes to stop they often stick. I then easy off a little and press hard, pushing through the sticking.
