The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where the contact was informed that the brake sensor would need to be replaced. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 92,505.

I have a 2004 Explorer limited and just turned 14,000 miles and my abs light comes on every time I start the car and accelerate. Also the cruise stopped working. From what I have read it sounds like the abs module which Ford has apparently been aware off. Not happy!! I would not expect this sort of problem with only 14,000 miles.

My 2004 Ford Explorer has several issues since 38,000 miles, the recent complaint at 57,000 miles is the abs module and the cruise control. The abs light came on and at the same time the cruise control stop working. Took it to the dealership I purchased it at. They tried to reset the computer. Advised me I would need a new acs module for the abs. I contacted Ford motor company to try and get the module replaced under warranty. The best Ford would do is to split the cost of the module with me, but I would have to pay for labor to install. When asked how much the module cost. Was told 1160. 00. This would not guarantee that I would not have this problem again. The dealership told me they would try to find a used module. I called back after several days and was informed they could not find one. The next day I got on the phone and within 20 mins had found a module at a local salvage yard. Asked the dealership if they would purchase the used module with the money Ford was going to provide with the new module to fix it. They said no. Ford motor company is aware that many of the 2004 Explorers have abs and powertrain issues, yet they fail to acknowledge. Now I can tell a difference in my braking. Sometimes now when I have to use the brakes, I can feel something is not right. I am worried that when I will need the abs to work I will not have the ability to stop. I am disappointed that the cruise control has stopped working as well with this amount of mileage. The dealership has been unable to tell me if the cruise control is related to the abs module. They never check the cruise control problem and was not aware of it till I had called them back on the used abs module. Ford needs to step up and take care of these major issues with these Explorers. . . . Poor parts installed at time of manufacturing. Ford should be liable.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Explorer. The abs warning light was illuminated on the instrument control panel. The rear brakes also failed during brake application on gravel roads. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least five times, and was repaired according to the extended warranty. The failure mileage was 5,000. The current mileage was 62,000.
