Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY '02 EXPLORER NEW. FROM THE BEGINING THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IF YOU PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL FOWARD APPROX 1-2 FT. IT CONCERNS ME. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES WHEN PURCHASING FUEL THAT I HAVE NEARLY ROLLED INTO A PEDESTRIAN FROM A DEAD STOP. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLY TO BE TOLD IT IS NOMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T THINK ANY VEHICLE SHOULD MAKE THAT PRONOUNCED A ROLL WHEN REMOVING YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. *AK
