problem #1

Mar 052007

Explorer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,000 miles
I have had the control arms bolts on both sides of the vehicle now loosened up sufficiently enough to cause the vehicle to swerve suddenly when braking. Fortunately was able to control vehicle. The left side failed first now the right side. Extremely dangerous and I was lucky I was able to react to avoid hitting cars next to me.
