Consumer Description

DAUGHTER DRIVING MOTHER'S 2006 FORD EXPLORER ON NYS RT 87, ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT COME ON, NEAREST EXIT A FEW MILES. ABS WOULD OPERATE RANDOMLY, FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT. GRINGING SOUNDS FROM TRANSFER CASE. I FOUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TOOTHED RING KNOWN AS THE "EXCITER RING" WAS CRACKED AND LOOSE ON THE AXLE WHICH CAUSES THE SENSOR TO GET BAD READINGS. I AM GOING TO FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT A VEHICLE WITH 55K SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE IT HASN'T CAUSED ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH BECAUSE YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT ABS TO FUNCTION WHEN YOUR FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR
