I recently was told my brakes needed to be replaced, and shortly after a grinding started in the front when I would press the brake pedal. I drove like this for maybe two days, and then my ABS light came on, and the 4x4 light blinks off and on. I put on new pads and rotors all the way around...

Hey everyone. I am new to this site. I stumbled upon it while trying to get some ideas as to what could be wrong with my Explorer. One thing it was doing, although it ran fine, was when we went to put gas in. The pump would shut off like the gas tank was full, even if it was nowhere near full...
