- 2013 Explorer xlt
A few days ago our 2013 Explorer made a vibrating gripping sound when backing up as the brakes were applied (happened both barckward and forward). The sound and vibration got louder as the Ex was coming to a stop (last 2-3 feet). As the day went on, the vibration and sound disappeared. Now it just sounds like a rubbing sound when the brakes are applied. After driving for a while that sound goes away when braking, but it seems there is still brake pressure on the wheels when the pedal isn't being applied - this is especially noticeable when going down hill - maybe my imagination. This seemed to first happen after the parking brake was applied and released on a steep hill.
Has anyone else experienced this? Seems like there is some binding going on but can't be sure. Will be taking back to dealer this week...
