Consumer Description

I HAVE A CRACK ON THE REAR LIFT GATE OF MY 2004 FORD EXPLORER. IT RUNS VERTICALLY FROM UNDER THE WINDOW, AROUND THE LEFT SIDE OF EMBLEM, TO THE BOTTOM OF PANEL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DESIGN FLAW. I HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY IN SEPTEMBER 2006. THIS IS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE AND FORD IS NOT REPAIRING IT UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE MY 12 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 6 WEEKS AGO. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED, AS IT IS A 2ND OCCURRENCE AND OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER FLAW. *TR
