Consumer states the routing of the parking brake cable on this particular model of Explorer's is no more than 1/16 of an inch from the tire and in some cases the cable rubs against the tire and causes a blowout. Consumer feels this problem develops when the left brake cable is installed, the cable has to loop over very close to the tire, if the cable sags a little, it will touch the tire, when it touches the tire, the downward notation at the point of contact it will pull the cable further downward increasing the contact, consumer also states tire pressure of 26 psi or less would contribute to the problem.

While tires were being changed, owner noticed spring that holds up parking brake cable has rubbed through the installation. Now the spring is actually rubbing through the cable. Evenually, the cable will snap and puncture rear driver's side tire. Owner is able to see where parking cable is rubbing on the new tire. Problem has not been corrected.
