I think the rear door of Ford explorers should be investigated. I have a 1997 Ford explorer XLT. The weld that holds the rear door at the top is starting to come apart. I was informed that this is an engineering defect on Ford explorers by a Ford body shop. Why has there not been a recall on this issue? I have also seen this on several other explorers. I was told that this occurs because the sheet metal used on the door is so thin that it does not support the weight of the rear door that good.

If the removable liftgate has any pressure on the bottom, it will release. When it releases, it is heavy enough to cause harm or injury to a person. Please provide further details.
