| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The rear window liftgate hinge on my 2004 ford explorer fractured. this was obviously a defective hinge in that it shouldn't have worn out like it did. i had to bring it to the dealer who replaced both hinges for approx $165. they told me there was a recall for this same problem for the years prior to my model year. they also said that the hinge was the same type that was failing in the prior model years. i am filing this complaint in order to have any of this type of hinge that was used to be included in the recall. the recall was # 04v442000. *tr |
