Cracked liftgate!

I have now joined the "Esteemed group" of those with crackedliftgates.While washing my 2002 XLT, I discovered something that I thought wouldjust come off. Oh, no, its a crack, near the FORD emblem. Some of itruns north and south, part east and west!Even after reading about how dozens of other Explorer owners had hadthis "rude" awakening, I somehow didn't think it would happen to me.Ha!It makes me wonder how many "made in China's" we might find hiddenaway?Next time I go to look at a new car (and it won't be a Ford!), I willtake a small magnet, just to see what they're up to.WLW

My 19 YO Subaru doesn't, Nor does my 16 year old 270,000k Subaru. But my 13 YO Explorer is a P.O.S.

No legend, just fact. This was my Cousin's experience and it happened just a few years ago.

If you won't believe him/me, check the recalls/TSBs on Suby trannies.

$4000 for a rebuilt tranny... Ouch!
