NHTSA Complaint #10368965 — 2007 FORD EXPEDITION

LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20-25 MPH. PAVEMENT WAS DRY. SLIGHT DOWNHILL INCLINE. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. BRAKE STARTED PULSATING RAPIDLY. BRAKE WAS RESISTING ME PRESSING IT BY PUSHING MY FOOT BACK UP WITH PULSATING ACTION. TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. COULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR WENT INTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY PROCEEDED DOWN ANOTHER DOWNHILL INCLINE ABOUT 45 MPH. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN THE BRAKES STARTED PULSATING AND DID NOT WORK. HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES PUSHING AGAINST THE BRAKE RAPID PULSATION TO GET THE TRUCK SLOWED TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. TRACTION CONTROL SLIDING CAR ICON WAS FLASHING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 10/28/10. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OR MALFUNCTION. DEALER SAID THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM "RSC" RESETS ITSELF PERIODICALLY AND WILL MOST LIKELY DO THIS AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TIME FOR A BAKE OR TRACKING CONTROL SYSTEM TO RESET LEAVING ONE WITHOUT BRAKES. PERSONALLY I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR EXCUSE. FORD HAS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. SEEMS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM REFERENCE TO ODI ID # 10220899. ALSO OTHER COMPLAINTS UNDER THE TRACKING CONTROL SYSTEM ODI ID# 10332619 AND 10321582. ALSO FROM SURFING THE FORD ENTHUSIAST WEB SITE, AND OTHER WEB SITES, A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT BEING REPORTED.
