general problems of the 2008 Ford Explorer

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that the electronic stability control warning light illuminated intermittently and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the wires connected to the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000.

Vehicle check charging system light came on, shortly after the vehicle stall while in motion driving at a speed of approximately 25mph and eventually loss power, steering control and braking capabilities. Currently at the mechanic, it appears it may have been an alternator malfunction that caused the loss of power.

Front brakes has a rubbing, screaming sound, louder when turning or applying brakes, sometimes the steering wheel is hard to turn when this is happening, not for sure if the noise is coming from the front, middle or the back it is so loud, we have 4 years of the sound on tapes. Thought the tapping would help Ford motor company at bluebonnet find the problem, instead we were laughed at and treated rudely. The gear shift has been replaced twice by Ford and still has sticking problem, we even had the Ford corp involved, no solution of the matter has been resolved as of today, Ford corp office offered us a employee rate, but when speaking with a salesperson from blue bonnett Ford, we would loose the $10,000. 00 we put down, I have a vehicle we refuse to drive long distance, in fact we rent a vehicle to go out of town, because Ford could not tell me if it is safe or unsafe, we has owner feel it is dangerous.
