Consumer Description

I had a reputable after market brake system installed on my 2021 Ford Explorer ST at Holman Ford in Turnersville,NJ a couple years back. Since this time I have taken back the vehicle for my brakes being too spongy. I explained to the dealership that the brakes needed to be bleed again. The technician did not and adjusted the actuator on the brakes. Last year around the same time I had almost complete brake failure. This was do to the brakes having air in the lines and leaking from a fitting. The same concern I had from the beginning. The dealership fixed the problem and also added the parking brake software due to my vehicle only having one rear bolt in the subframe. Since this time, I have received numerous parking brake fault codes on my instrument cluster. The parking brake also disengages violently to the point where my vehicle lunges forward. It wasn’t until several days ago that my 2021 Explorer went back to the dealership for the parking brake issue and then saying my parking brake actuator broke apart. I have had nothing but issues with my brakes installed by the dealer and now I’m experiencing an issue caused from the software update.
