Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 FORD EXPLORER XLT, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND MY BRAKES NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THEY PULSATE AS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO ENGAGE EVEN WHEN IT IS 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND COMPLETELY DRY. NOTHING UPSETS ME MORE THAN HAVING TO PUT ON MY BRAKES AND HAVING THE FEELING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO WORK. THIS PUTS ME IN DANGER AS WELL AS THOSE WHO OWN THIS MODEL. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I AM ASKING FOR HELP HERE BEFORE I KILL MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR SOME RANDOM PERSON BECAUSE OF FAULTY BRAKES. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR FAULTY ABS PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS SCREWED UP ON. BELOW IT ASKS FOR AN INCIDENT DATE, LET ME TELL YOU THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THEY KICK ON AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M NOT GOING TO STOP!!!! WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH BEFORE THESE COMPANIES FINALLY RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM?? *TR
