The 2002 Tracker is a mini SUV manufactured by Chevrolet. Previous models of the Tracker were known as Geo Trackers. Although the door handle is not necessary for operating the Tracker, it can make life easier when it comes to getting in and out of the vehicle. If the handle is broken, the most common issue is a stuck latch or lock cylinder. If the latch or lock is broken, you can easily replace the handle in a matter of minutes.
