I OWN A '93 FORD EXPLORER. ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AGO, THE LIFT BACK DOOR TOTALLY SEPARATED FROM THE BODY - THE HINGES TORE OUT OF THE METAL. I TOOK IT TO MERIDIAN FORD IN MERIDIAN IDAHO FOR REPAIR - AND THEY REPAIRED IT AT NO CHARGE, INFORMING ME THAT THE DOOR PROBLEM WAS ON "RECALL". I STILL OWN THE CAR, AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS DEVELOPING AGAIN; I CAN TELL THE DOOR HINGES ARE AGAIN BEGINNING TO SEPARATE FROM THE CAR BODY AND I TRY TO AVOID USING THAT REAR DOOR IN ORDER TO KEEP IT FROM COMING LOOSE AND FALLING OFF AGAIN. I CALLED MERIDIAN FORD SERVICE DEPT. ABOUT REPAIRING IT, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME TO DO THE REPAIR AND THAT THEY ONLY GUARANTEE A REPAIR FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12
