1 Hatchback/liftgate Support Device problem of the 2005 Ford Freestar

Failure Date: 05/28/2008

I own a 2005 Ford Freestar model 's'. Couple of days ago suddenly rear liftgate strut failed and it led liftgate to free fall on me when I was removing the stuff from the van. I was able to hold the liftgate in time but it still hit me on my head a little bit.

2 Hatchback/liftgate Support Device problem of the 2004 Ford Freestar

Failure Date: 03/01/2007

2004 Ford Freestar, back liftgate. A design flaw allows rainwater or water from a car washing) to seep in, accumulate, and puddle all around the latch mechanism of the back lift gate. This causes it to freeze on icy days which causes difficulty opening or closing the back liftgate. Eventually, the latch mechanism rusts out completely and has to be replaced. This is an obvious design flaw.
