"Nice car, but would not purchase from Ford again"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The rear lift gate cracked -- we found out this was a factory defect, but they would not cover it due to the miles on the car.

The rear windows will not roll down.

The gear sticks in Reverse when trying to move to Park.

The high beam indicator no longer works.

General comments?

We were talked into purchasing Automotive Protection Plan insurance when we purchased the car. We made a claim for the latest problems, but they would only pay $48 when the cost to fix the problem is $478.

My 2002 Ford Explorer XLT also has a 4-5 inch crack coming from the blue Ford oval on the back window trim. Just appeared out of nowhere.

When starting the car in the morning, a strong vinegar smell is present.

Door hinges constantly need to be tightened.

Paint on hood is cracking.

When shifting from Park to Reverse on slight incline car does not go into gear.
