This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The driver noticed while applying the brakes a loud knocking noise started coming from the rear of the vehicle. The driver took the vehicle to the dealer. The mechanic informed the driver that the left and right brake caliper needed replacement. Please provide additional information.
When the brake pedal is depressed at any speed vehicle pulls to the right and then jerks forward. Dealership replaced the calipers, and turned the rotors in an attempt to fix the problem, but problem still exists.
Brake problem, in 2002 I had my Explorer in to phil long Ford 3 times for pulling, vibration in steering wheel when stopping. They machined the rotors each time. I then took it back to Ford because the brakes were still doing the same thing, once again they machined the rotors down to the lowest thickness, the brakes continued to make noise and the pedal is now sloppy. I was told that there is no tsb report on this problem, but yet I find on the internet. The bulltin # is 15910 and #15249. I have reported this to Ford and was told that what ever the dealer had to say was the way it was, because they were a blue oval dealer.
