1 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2013

We were driving down the highway and we heard a clunk and so we pulled over right away and looked and thought it looked like the rear passenger side was sagging but wasnt sure, we drove home and then realized it was def sagging. I took it to the car lot I bought it at and their going to check it all out to see whats going on. . Just be looking at it the car lot mechanic said looks like suspension issue as if something broke. Also the check engine light came on and we had it checked out a few times and it appears to have O2 sensor issues located on the exhaust which seems to be a issues with alot of Ford Explorers which makes gas mileage terrible and vechile stalls out and dies, not to mention the piece of plastic under the rear hatch window that always breaks.
