What owners wrote
2007 ford explorer sport trac (2wd) at complete stop. Rear ended by a ford focus at about 40MPH. Impact caused the sport trac seats to recline from an upright position to 45 degrees backwards/reclining), went into "park" and engine "shut off" automatically!
2007 sporttrac, started downshifting very rough when coming to a stop, took to freeport, il dealer who adjusted parts of the transmission, this made the downshifting much better for a few months, it is back now and worse than ever. You have to have your foot hard on the brake and don't stop very close to any vehicle or property in front of you.
