THIS IS RIDICULOUS. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE RESULTING CORROSION OF THE HATCH LATCH. C'MON FORD. STAND BEHIND YOUR CRAPPY PRODUCT AND HELP OUT FIXING SOMETHING THAT YOU UNDERDESIGNED. I AM NOT SURE I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS GENERATION OF EXPLORER WITHOUT THE VALANCE CRACKED.

See many Ford Explorers with same issue. There seems to be a pattern that should be addressed by Ford.
