Three problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1999 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving the brakes suddenly malfunctioned, technician told the consumer that all four brake rotor had to be replaced, the consumer found the brakes to be in an excessively deformed condition. Nlm.
In the first 25 days I owned and operated my Explorer, I experienced 4 incidents of brake malfunction. In all four of the incidents, I was traveling at slow or moderate speeds. In the two instances where the failure occurred while I was traveling forward, I was traveling at 15-25 mph and was attempting to slow and not come to an immediate stop. I did not lose brake pedal pressure. The vehicle did not respond (did not slow) to my pressing the brake pedal. In the two instances where I encounted brake failure in reverse, I was traveling at 5 mph and experienced no loss of brake pedal pressure. In the 4/24 incident, I was attempting to parallel park. As I backed into the spot and attempted to slow before stopping, I braked, but the Explorer did not slow or obviously stop. I had to put the car hastilly in "drive" to avoid hitting the parked car behind me. Again, I was only trying to park at 5 mph or less, but the brakes did not slow the vehicle like they do normally.
While driving 70 mph and when brakes are applied vehicle vibrates severely, causing loss of control. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
