Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased a 2002 ford explorer, from the dealership in december 2006. in january 2007 i awoke to clear the snow off my vehicle when i noticed a huge crack on the back panel under the tailgate. i took the vehicle to ford immediately, and was told that it was not covered due to the age of the vehicle, but that it was an ongoing problem. when temperatures reached a high the crack then expanded and the crack was not noticable. when the temperature got cold again the crack was very apparrent. the dealership told me there was a fault with this panel, but ere not able to cover it. *ak
