#10 of 28 Hard to brake model 2006 by yuvalsin Dec 23, 2007 (10:18 am)
I have Explorer model 2006, which is very soft and easy to drive. Exept for the brakes which need a heavy foot. My mechanic found no problem with the brakes. Is it a known problem with Explorers?

#12 of 28 07 Explorer Brake failure by analysisor Aug 10, 2008 (4:07 pm)
I was backing into a parking lot today and as my 07 Explorer got closer and closer to the vehicle right next to us, I pushed the brake, nothing happened, and I tried harder again and still nothing. My mind immediately switched to the other pedal and my Explorer drove right into the other vehicle. My friends and family in the vehicle all felt weird that the vehicle did not stop. But as I tested the brake after the accident, the brake was totally normal to me.   Anyone had any similar experience? I am so frustrated now, I will take this vehicle to a brake- check tomorrow.

Last year purchased 2003 Ford explorer, dealer replaced rear brakes prior to accepting vehicle. I have never been able to use the parking brake and would like to know is this an adjustment that possibly was made incorrectly and that I could take care of myself.
