Parked on hill or flat ground it happen before, but the gear shift gets stuck. You can turn the steering wheel right, left to get it to unlock but it want, no locked brakes.but I kept on trying to get my truck in gear to point of doing dangers things as of sticking one foot out of the door and rocking it back and forth.to get the lock to brake but that did not work then I tried again and the gear shift broke a aluminum part on the inside broke and I have saw three more like this and some more reports of this and nothing has been said or done about this, that I am not the only one.

2002 Ford Explorer lift gate clip on applicator is and has been splitting from top to bottom every time some one closed the lift gate I saw this on many other Ford Explorer and it cost {us -S 300 dollars to install a new one at the dealers shops to repair. Some thing need to be done Ford manufacture need to reimburse to fix this problems now and in the future I cannot afford to fix my Explorer so I am waiting to see if Ford can fix this problem for me and others like me who cannot afford to fix the problem I believe something should be done. Please for a reply at my email thank you sincerely E J.
