Your Explorer is idling roughly during startup and while driving, making a whistling sound as if trying to accelerate on its own. You've also noticed brake pads wearing out much faster than normal, with multiple replacements needed before warranty ended. Most concerning, when you put the car in reverse today, it suddenly spun out of control in a complete circle three times before stopping just before hitting another vehicle.
