I think its trans to front passenger shaft does any one else have this problem i take it repair shop and they tell me nothings wrong

This particular issue has not been brought up before. I don't see how a suspected bad shaft would trigger those sensors but stranger things have happened. I would take it to the dealer or an independent garage and have them check it out in case it could be something more serious. If you are concerned about nothing being found, I suggest that you take a mechanic along for a short drive. That is if it can be easily duplicated. If it is very intermittent, then it may be more difficult to locate the problem. Is your Explorer FWD or AWD?

Awd

My Explorer is an AWD and it happens only when slow braking
