Description of the problem | Periodically, after starting the vehicle, and selecting a gear (either drive or reverse), i experience a "hard brake" where i cannot press down the break pedal but the vehicle will begin to roll. The vehicle will continue to roll and i cannot use the brake pedal (therefore i cannot stop). The only solution i have found is to switch the vehicle to park, turn off the vehicle, and turn back on the vehicle. This happens approximately 2 times per month. The 2020 ford explorer uses an electric brake booster, and i believe it may be a calibration issue upon ignition/vehicle start up. If it does not calibrate properly, the brakes will not work. This is a common issue, and there is a thread at the explorer forum with various members experiencing this safety issue. You can find the thread, and statements from others, at the below webpage: https://www. Explorerforum. Com/forums/threads/brake-issue. 483026/ |
