Explorer Sport Trac

  • 5,500 miles
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). The ABS and transmission problems occurred between Aug 2007 and December 2007. The vehicle had 38000-40000 miles and lightly driven. Currently the vehicle has less than 470000 miles and has been driven 6.5 years. The vehicle was never used for towing. It was used primarily for taking children to school, activities, and family vacations.
