Hello All,
Well i finally bought my 97 4dr Explorer.
The wacky sound happens right at the last sec before the Truck stops while breaking. It sounds like a deep purr or a little motor turning on then off. I also feel it vibrate in foot for the 2 secs it’s on. I thought it might be ABS turning on (even though I’m stopping on perfectly dry pavement_ could it be set to sensitive) but I'm use to feeling ABS in my old Grand Am and it felt like a thumb, thumb, thumb not a deep purr .
When the sound comes on it doesn't seem to affect the brakes it just makes noise and vibrates the pedal.
When I took it for a test drive I notice this sound but the dealer said that would be fixed when he got it certified.
I plan to take it in tomorrow morning but I would like to arm myself with some knowledge on this before hand.
Thanks
Aron
