(i.e. - the logo is so big and the material around the logo emblem so thin that it cracks under pressure and change in temperature) i would also like to add that i have been told that the ford explorer has a recall for this exact type of problem, yet mercury has yet to issue a recall for the mountaineer. the vehicles that have incurred this type of problem have been around the same years (2004-2006 models - or at least the vehicles that i have seen this problem occur in.) 1. the events that have led up to this failure includes: mercury and ford are solely to blame for producing a faulty tailgate or lift gate on these vehicles and should recall them. the change in temperature along with average usage of shutting or closing the tailgate would cause a vibration to promote the tailgate to crack. i noticed my failure or crack in mid-august of 2008, i've owned my vehicle since 2004 but it has been garaged all of those years except for last year, which could explain why it happened last year (change in temperature more severe). 2. i have noted how the failure occurs, its consequences include a crack in the lift gate of the vehicle, which is aesthetically non-appealing, and this could lead to a larger crack in the lift gate that could eventually cause major problems for the vehicle. this crack (which is not minor, 3 - 5 inches usually) could also reduce or lead to compromising the vehicles structural integrity and reduce crash test ratings. this is a big concern for your safety. 3. i personally spent over $400 to replace the entire lift gate. i should be reimbursed and mercury should recall this problem. *tr.Mileage was 50000 miles.

Mercury Mountaineer 2004 Structure BodyMercury Mountaineer 2004 Structure Body Review #10467598 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER 2004 car safety problem was reported on July 20, 2012.MERCURY MOUNTAINEER 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . rear hatch back glass body-side hinge broke on right side in normal opening of glass. hinge is composed of a black plastic or nylon retaining clip with a metal pin. the plastic appears to have failed from fatigue. recent high heat (100+ degrees for several days) may be a factor. plastic broke through over the pin channel, allowing the pin to pop out. the glass is heavy and torqued by the remaining hinge and two hydraulic lifts. no injuries, but easily could have fallen, broke or shattered on the operator. the heavy glass is a danger especially to children or smaller adults. the operator fortunately had a wood slat in the back big enough to prop up the glass and support it until help arrived. even with two adults it was hard to hold and control the glass to close it and take to the dealer. retention clip really should have embedded metal reinforcement around the pin.(the larger expedition appears to have just that in the equivalent part.) reading online there are many cases of similar failure that included damage and or at least minor injuries. repair was $270 at a ford dealer. appears to be common enough failure to be a design flaw not to be repeated. admittedly this appeared on a high mileage nine year-old vehicle which has otherwise provided very good service, but the weight of the falling glass and torque involved were both dangerous and could easily have resulted in serious injury. operator felt lucky to catch and control it without breaking the glass or getting hurt. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 161494 miles.
