“I own a '93 Ford explorer. About 4-5 years ago, the lift back door totally separated from the body - the hinges tore out of the metal. I took it to meridian Ford in meridian idaho for repair - and they repaired it at no charge, informing me that the door problem was on recall . I still own the car, and the same problem is developing again; I can tell the door hinges are again beginning to separate from the car body and I try to avoid using that rear door in order to keep it from coming loose and falling off again. I called meridian Ford service dept. …”
