2013 Ford Expedition Brakes

PARKING BRAKE FAILED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE AT 1500 RPM WHICH IS REQUIRED IN MASSACHUSETTS TO PASS STATE INSPECTION. IT DOES NOT PERFORM TO SPECIFICATIONS. VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 2 YRS OLD WITH 9500 MILES. DEALER HAD TO REMOVE AND CLEAN PARKING BRAKES PARTS AND REASSEMBLE. I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH 2000 EXPEDITION EVERY YEAR THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD FAIL STATE INSPECTION AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DESIGN FLAW IF THE PARKING BRAKES CHRONICALLY UNDER PERFORM ON THESE FORD VEHICLES

UPON BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS SUCH AS 65 MPH EXITING THE INTERSTATE, THE. STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHUDDER VIOLENTLY, THEREFORE IN JANUARY 2016 AT 39,416 MILES, HAD FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED PRIOR TO DRIVING IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO. BY JULY~ AUGUST 2016, REOCCURRENCE OF SAME PROBLEM SO TOOK VEHICLE TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP FOR SERVICE, WHERE NEW ROTORS WERE THE PLAN BUT THEY DISCOVERED FRONT BRAKES ALSO NEEDED REPLACING SO BOTH REPLACED ON THE FRONT. NOW, NOVEMBER 10, MILEAGE IS 54,125, AND VISITED FORD DEALER AFTER SMOKE AND GROANING NOISE OCCURRED. I WAS TOLD FRONT BRAKES WEREN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NOW PAID FOR NEW FRONT BRAKE, NEW FRONT CALIPER, NEW BRAKE HOSE.
