Explorer 4WD

  • miles
We have had numerous problems with our ABS (annoying pedal feedback during normal braking as well as during back-up), the front brakes were completely shot at 17,000 miles (we do not have a tow package) the rotor's had to be milled, and upon further investigation by the dealership ( after numerous complaints by me) found out the rear brakes were not functioning at all. I have 2 small children and I am becoming more concerned about their safety as this situation persists. I bought a Ford because they had a better safety rating at the time then other similar makes
