2008 Ford Explorer
we have a 2008 ford explorer, just bought it less than two weeks ago. Here's what happens:
You turn the key on the check engine light is on, the abs light is on. You start driving down the road and if the speed limit is less than 40MPH the vehicle will randomly start applying the brakes. If you stay under 40MPH it will continue to do this.. If you go over 40MPH more dash warnings come up (the service RSC now, the traction car icon) and the two that were already up there (abs, and check engine light) are still there. This is a major safety concern because anyone that is driving behind you in traffic bumper to bumper will not know when/why you are braking...in fact you the driver don't even know when your vehicle is going to break ... what is going on?
 






You have a bad wheel speed sensor.

Pull the fault codes and post them up here for better diagnosis.

You said it; "WARNING" lights. "This is a major safety concern!"

They are not meant to be ignored.

If the car is unsafe to drive; Please don't drive it until it is repaired.
