| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I think the rear door of ford explorers should be investigated. i have a 1997 ford explorer xlt. the weld that holds the rear door at the top is starting to come apart. i was informed that this is an engineering defect on ford explorers by a ford body shop. why has there not been a recall on this issue? i have also seen this on several other explorers. i was told that this occurs because the sheet metal used on the door is so thin that it does not support the weight of the rear door that good.*jb |
