“The rear hatchback freezes (locked) closed and I am not able to open from either side. Which could prove dangerous in a crash situation. This is my second Aerostar with the same problem. The usefulness of the vihical is cut by more than 75%”
NHTSA complaint #743268, filed 2001-03“When the sliding door on the right hand had been opened & then closed, it could be reopened again from either inside or outside. Could hear the clicking sound, but the door is not opening. All the locks work just fine. Taking vehicle to mechanic to check & have it repaired.”
