Help with braking issue

[ne1]

Hi All,

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer which has had both new rear and front brakes put on it. Last year I was having a problem that every once and awhile when braking at low speeds, the peddle would go further to the floor and act like the ABS was coming on. I took the truck in and the garage replaced the front brakes (pads and rotors) when I picked it up it felt ok for a day or two but then started acting up again. I pulled the fuse on the ABS and although the problem is alot less frequent it still happens, low peddle with a shake in it and not much braking power (glad this only happens at 5-6 miles an hour cause you do panic).

Any ideas?

Thanks

was it an "accredited" garage... ie. did they bleed your brakes INCLUDING "exercising" your ABS. They / you need a scan tool to activate the ABS motor otherwise air in that system may cause you problems.
