“The liftgate molding developed a crack several inches long after owning the vehicle for 2 1/2 years with roughly 55,000 miles. A recall notice was received dealing with the lift gate window,but, the recall didn't include the cracked molding. I have noticed many explorers with this same issue. I addressed this issue when I took the vehicle in to have the recall work completed, but my Ford dealership was not willing to fix the lift gate until I agreed to have them perform other vehicle maintenance to the tune of over $400. I feel this is more of a form of blackmail than kindness. …”
