Consumer Description

MY 2005 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE REAR LIFT GATE RIGHT AROUND THE MERCURY EMBLEM. I HAVE SEEN MANY MORE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BOTH FORD EXPLORERS AND THE MERCURY MOUNTAINEER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE LIKE TOO BAD SO SAD IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT A EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FORD. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND NOW AND I SEE LOTS OF THEM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD THAT FORD IS FIXING THE EXPLORERS IF IT IS UNDER 5 YEARS AND UNDER 75,000 MILES BUT THAT JUST SEEMS TO BE A DEALER THING, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THIS. *TR
