Our new Big Bend locked the rear wheels while in neutral to go through the car wash. Attendant had me press the L button in the shift knob to go forward. Anyone else have this happen?
Perhaps I wasn't clear. We entered an automatic car wash we use all the time. The attendant guides you forward onto the track. Once you are far enough forward he tells you to place the vehicle in neutral and foot off the brake. At this point rollers come up behind your rear tires and push you forward through the wash. OK. So our Bronco was clearly in neutral, we were both in the car and our seat belts were fastened. Some technology in the car sensed that the car was going forward in neutral and locked the rear wheels. This made the car wash rollers go under the rear wheels at which point the wash shut down. The attendant came over and saw the car clearly in neutral and told us to press the L in the center of the shift knob. This released the rear brake and allowed the rail system to catch the rear wheels with the next rollers through. We then went through the car wash trouble free.
