Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rear tail gate will not open, when the doors are locked the glass is still unlocked. the rear wiper will not work either. when the glass is open the door ajar light doesn't come on. since i can't tell weather it is latched securely or not, i am afraid that if ever in an accident it may open on its own. the dealers want a large payment just to see what is wrong with it and then more to fix it. ford hasn't given me any guess as to what the issue is or what caused it. it just happened one day i went to open the gate and it will not open. *nm
