CRACK IN REAR UPPER TAILGATE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A CRACK NEAR THE EMBLEM IN THE CENTER OF REAR LIFTGATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DID NOT RETRACT AT TIMES. SHE HAD TO REPEATEDLY PULL THE SEAT BELTS SO THAT THEY WOULD RETRACT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.
I OWN A 2004 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. THE GLASS HATCH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY HARD TO CLOSE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, BECAUSE OF THIS AT TIMES THE HATCH IS NOT COMPLETELY LATCHED AND WILL POP OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS PAST SATURDAY, 05/02/09, THE GLASS HATCH HINGE COMPLETELY BROKE OFF WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT. MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR PROBLEMS THROUGH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND OF COURSE THROUGH MY OWN ERROR, BUT THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
