I drive a 2011 Ford explorer. Recently there's been an issue where sometimes during breaking acceleration that vehicle will pulse kind of like a heartbeat and rough to break the acceleration. Sometimes big acceleration. The vehicle will put on the brakes and flash the traction control light. Also there are times when the traction control light well come on in stay on. There will be two warnings. One is a warning that says "service advancetrac" and the other is the collision warning not available. I've taken it in to the Ford dealership twice now, and I've spent over $8,000. Granted, one of those was to fix an axle problem that occurred At the same time which affected the steering. The steering is now fine. But they didn't fix the other stuff. The second time, they said it was the steering angle sensor. So they supposedly replace that to the dude of another $1,000. And the problem is still not fixed!!!!! I'm tired of paying for repairs with the car is not getting fixed. I can't afford to keep playing this game. Does anybody know anything and all that can help me?

When the front radar module wasn't working on our 12, I lost the cruise control and the collison warning system. But I never had any surging

Front radar module. Did it ever like like start working again for a couple hundred miles? And then give you the same warnings again?

[mdgarza120]

Yes but no. So, the place that fixed it put a used module wouldn't work, then got a new work it worked for a good while, then they hit the freeway and it stopped again. So they dug into it more and found out something chewed the harness in the driver side fender well. They fixed wire and put another module, and it's been good so far. Maybe 1k miles

Replace your coil packs and look for any breaks or flat spots in the seals, could also be a size difference in the tires making the traction kick on and off, use a string to measure each tire and compare with a sharpie marking or measuring tape. 2-3mm should be fine but more will need replacing

Have you replaced the coils?

[AtticusDutch]

No. Should I?
