“The sliding car icon displays quite often, always on dry pavement. Usually for a short time during that time the brakes do not operate properly. They act as though the ABS have engaged themselves and make it almost impossible to stop. It has happened over 10 times to me in the 15 months that I have owned the truck. The dealer checked the problem and reported that there was nothing wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10244171, filed 2008-10, 8,705 miles“Leaving my neighborhood going 20-25 MPH. Pavement was dry. Slight downhill incline. Put my foot on the brake. Brake started pulsating rapidly. Brake was resisting me pressing it by pushing my foot back up with pulsating action. Truck would not stop. Could have rear ended the car in front of me or went into a 4 lane highway. Pulled out onto the highway proceeded down another downhill incline about 45 MPH. Put my foot on the brake to slow down again the brakes started pulsating and did not work. …”

NHTSA complaint #10573153, filed 2014-03, 108,000 miles“We have been having sporadic issues with a grating/grinding/scraping noise and a bucking/jerking with our 35,00mile 2007 Ford Expedition el. No one seems to be able to pinpoint the problem (dealership, of course). I'm sure at 36,001 miles they'll figure it(warranty up). Help. I worry about the safety of my three children, as well as the expense of fixing it. When it occurs longterm (20+ seconds) , tapping the brakes seems to release the noise/hang up. You can also feel it in the pedals/floor when it happens. When the car bucks(not always occurring with the noise)- it really bucks. …”
NHTSA complaint #10269972, filed 2009-05, 34,000 miles“Ant-skid control light flashed three times, started to come to a stop.
