Back doors of my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac FX4 4X4 do not open from inside or outside. The child safely locks are not on. We just bought this truck used, we noticed the door did not open at the dealers, they said it would be fixed. Upon picking up the truck we were told it was because the child safely lock was on. This is not true because the child safety locks do not keep you from opening the door from the outside. They did something that aloud the door to open for about 30 mins, we got home and the same thing happen. This is not safe, we could not get my 4 year old daughter out of the truck. God for bid if the truck ever was on fire we could not get to her.

Beginning roughly one year after purchase (10/2000) I have detected at times a strong oily vapor odor within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The odor impregnates my clothing and exposed skin and has caused minor (at this time, at least) respiratory problems. I am forced on these occasions, weather permitting, to ride with my windows down to lessen the effect. The occurrence is intermittent and I haven't been able to pinpoint causing factors. The dealership has failed to solve the problem (4 visits), suggesting that it's just the air being brought into the ventilation system.
