cracked rear panel

This rear panel cracked within 2 years. At 6 years, it flew off like a boomerang while I was driving on the freeway. To this day I wonder if I hurt anyone. Ford needs to be accountable for this. I'm the original owner.

Explorer XLT 4.6L

  • Automatic transmission

the back panel on my vehicle has had a crack in it that just slowly widens! I've noticed that other ford explorers also have the same crack in the same place as Im driving behind them. The repair shops want $400.00- $500.00!!??? Wheres Ford Customer Repair Service when you need them!?
