2 Hatchback/liftgate Lock problem of the 2005 Ford Expedition

Failure Date: 07/03/2007

I own a 2005 Ford Expedition. On several occassions, when I stop the car, the glass (only) on the rear liftgate pops open automatically. If there is anything in the back of the vehicle (person or thing) it could possibly fall out of the back of the vehicle. I was wondering if others had reported this problem and if it should be looked into for recall. Latest incident was 07/03/07.
