Consumer Description

THE REAR HATCH DOES NOT OPEN DUE TO A FAULTY ACTUATOR. ALL ESCAPES HAVE THIS ISSUE SINCE 2001 BUT FORD HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE FROM YOUR VEHICLE IN AN ACCIDENT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO. ALSO THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH FROM THE INSIDE. *TR
