Consumer Description

PARKING BRAKE GOES TO FLOOR WHEN PUSHING PEDAL. THEN I RELEASE IT, AND REAPPLIED IT UNTIL IT WORKS. BUT IT HAS DISENGAGED BY ITSELF MANY TIMES NOW, SO I DON'T TRUST IT ANYMORE. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT, AND HAS RELEASED A FIX, BUT THE DEALER ACTED LIKE THEY KNEW NOTHING, AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR A REPLACEMENT BRAKE ASSEMBLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A FEW OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT THE FIX DOESN'T LAST MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS BEFORE IT THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. SO THEY GIVE UP ON IT AND JUST DON'T TRUST IT TO HOLD THE TRUCK. I GET MY THIRD PARTY INFO FROM THE EXPLORER FORUM ON THE INTERNET. IT IS A NEWS GROUP WITH MANY MEMBERS AND IT CAN BE FOUND AT "REC.AUTO.MAKERS.FORD.EXPLORER" - THANKS. *AK
