Four problems related to hatchback/liftgate hinge have been reported for the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2001 Ford explorer liftgate glass hinge failure. Covered in NHTSA campaign #04v442000. Ford has only recalled a portion of the vehicles in this campaign and will not make repairs on the 2001 model years.
Left side upper glass hinge on liftgate broke off July 13, 2006 @60890 miles , I had a similar problem in November 2004 @ 40014 miles in which I had to replace the right side upper glass hinge on liftgate.
Back window defect. The left-side hinge on the window of the hatchback fell off. Apparently a rivet came loose from the inside of the window causing it to separate from the hinge. The right side remained in tact. This is the same problem as indicated in a failure reported on August 23, 2003. I bought this vehicle brand new.
Back window defect - the left-side hinge on the window of the hatchback fell off. Apparently a bolt came loose from the inside of the frame and my window fell off. The right-side remained in tact, but was bent a bit. This is a defective part! I bought this car brand new two years ago and my window just falls off one day?!?!?!.
