October 13, 2014 -- A Consolidated Ford Cracked Tailgate Class-Action Lawsuit is moving forward on claims Ford sold SUVs with tailgates that are prone to crack because of defective materials.
The affected SUVs named in the cracked tailgate lawsuit are the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator. The lawsuit alleges that even though Ford sold millions of those SUVs, consumers might not have purchased the SUVs if the defect had been known.
Furthermore, the plaintiffs say they certainly wouldn't have paid a premium price for the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles if Ford would have admitted the tailgates could crack.
The class-action suit includes Ford owners in 25 states who claim Ford knew of the alleged tailgate defect in 2002 but hid the defect from consumers to save on the expense of repairing or replacing the cracked tailgates. The plaintiffs claim the tailgate material is prone to allow moisture and air behind the window panel that can cause the tailgate to crack.

There is a large rubber gasket underneath with four oval shade air caps of 20? x 2? each, that between glass and trim panel. It absorbs vibration and heat protect glass and tailgate panel.
