THE AIR RIDE WILL RAISE THE BACKEND 10-12" FROM THE TOP OF THE TIRE TO THE TOP OF THE WHEELWELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 70+MPH AND MAKES THE VEHICLE BUCK VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 8+TIMES FOR REPAIR AND THEY'VE REPLACED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CONTROL PANEL LAST MONTH AND IT'S GONE UP 5 TIMES SINCE THEN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN EACH TIME IT HAPPENS BECAUSE MY SERVICING DEALER, JOHN MARKEL FORD, SAID IT MUST STILL BE RUNNING FOR THEM TO GET CODES FROM THE COMPUTER AND SOMETIMES IT RAISES UP AFTER I TURN THE KEY OFF. THEY ARE UNABLE TO "DOCUMENT" THE PROBLEM AND CAN'T REPRODUCE IT SO THE ZONE REP WON'T REPLACE IT. HE'S OFFERED $1500 TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF A NEW VEHICLE BUT THAT'S IT. *AK

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
WE RENTED A 2011 4X4 EXPLORER FOR A SKI TRIP TO TAHOE. ONCE WE CAME OFF THE PASS, THE RSC LIGHTS CAME ON. THE ANTILOCK AND SLIP LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON. THE CAR LOST ALMOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY ON SNOWY ROADS. IT WAS UNDRIVABLE AND SCARY. THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY AND SENT A NEW VEHICLE OUT TO US GIVEN THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION. WE HAD CHAINS ON THE REAR TIRES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE HAD 4 KIDS INTHE CAR. HAD THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ON THE PASS, WE COULD HAVE GONE OFF THE CLIFF. WE ALMOST RAN INTO PEOPLE AND A LIGHT POLE. *TR
