Because the abs light comes on during long drives and remains on until we stop the vehicle, our Explorer has been in the shop on 3 times in 3 states. Weã‚ve been told that we shouldnã‚t worry if the light goes off after stopping. A ã‚grindingã‚쳜 noise checked in colorado for 3 days last year wasnã‚t a problem until our rear differential suddenly went "out," in ohio. In illinois, the abs light came on and stayed on for the first time. We went to the closest Ford dealership, and since it didnã‚t remain lit, we were told to get it repaired in iowa, since it wasn't "major. " the abs rear sensor was replaced. The mechanic said that Explorers with differential replacement were having sensor problems. When the differential was replaced in ohio, the service rep mentioned a "kit" to replace the differential. Both garages seemed conversant with the abs sensor and differential problems. The SUV has been maintained at Ford dealerships to ensure systems serviced by mechanics and technicians well versed in Ford products. The abs sensor light problem recurred in may after a 200 mile road trip, going off after we stopped. My brakes failed when I tried to stop while traveling between 5-10 mph,about 550+ miles into an extended road trip. No citation was issued as the sheriff's deputy said there were no skid marks on the pavement to indicate that I had "jammed" on the brakes. I had pressed the brake pedal to the floor and had no brakes when I hit the back of a penske moving truck. The abs brakes and "auxiliary" brakes failed on the vehicle, with over $11,000 worth of damage to the front end of the vehicle, even at a low rate of speed, which seems to be a pattern of problems with the abs. The air bag didnã‚t deploy. I reported this to Ford's customer care center on 7/18/2005, got a reference number, and was told I would hear from the consumer advisory group within 3 business days, havenã‚t heard from them, yet.

2002 Ford Explorer 1. Abs sensor light came on in March 2003. Took car to Ford dealership and they replaced it. Abs light went out for a short time. Then, Aug, 2003, abs light came on again. Took into a dealership, they replaced the sensor. Abs light went out. But it came back on again soon afterward. In the meantime, my warranty expires. 2. Failure to adequately diagnose this problem in the first place has lead to a bad rear hub assembly. Now I have a repair outside my warranty that should have been taken care of in the first place. 3. Ford refuses to acknowledge responsibility for their faulty problem. They require that I pay for a diagnosis to find out what the problem is. Being that this is related to something that they have a history on during my warranty period, they should be responsible for the repairs and costs.
