What owners wrote
Left rear caliper locked up on a cold morning. Was not able to tell, drove for 1 mile, rotor heated up enough to turn cherry red, smoking very badly. This is very common problem, every '93 & '94 ford probe gt has this problem. I now have no parking brake which I should have. I am always hearing of problems from others on a probe faq site. You will be hearing from others on this problem. Please make ford recall this very serious problem!
Release of hand brake on ford probe gt fails to disengage the rear brakes, rear wheel(s) now partially or completely locked, current method of correction involves manually releasing from underneath the car (always park downhill now).
