What owners wrote
2002 ford sport trac 8 year old child broke door handle when trying to open door with child lock on. 5 year old child broke the other door handle the same way. Something needs to be done about this. These handles are not heavy dty enough for the weight that is forced on them when trying to open even with the child lock off. These automakers should be forced to stop using the public as guinea pigs to find out what problems they have and then never issue recalls.
Defective brake caliper 2002 ford explorer sport trac with less than 6000 miles at time of incidence approximately november 2002. A brake caliper was stuck on after putting on the brakes while in motion. The vehicle had to be towed to a garage. The caliper was replaced and the rotor was damaged but still usable. I also had problems with the ABS malfunctioning where the brakes would not stop the vehicle(summer, dry roads). The manual transmission slave and master cylinders were replaced (do have these parts).
