After purchasing this ford explorer I check all fluids and added and changed as nessasary about 2 weeks after I purchased it my stepson and my wife and large dog went on a little trip to check out this thing, after letting out the wife and dog my stepson and myself tried to go up a slight hill in 4 wheel drive to see if it worked, after it wouldn't make it up the hill we backed it down and headed back for my wife when the left front tire wheel and brake assy fell off due to the plastic piece failing inside…
When driving 4-wheel drive engaged without warning. This caused steering wheel to pull either right or left. Had to maintain control. Driver shifted into reverse to disengage 4-wheel drive.
