Several of my friends that have the same car have the same problem. This was noticed shortly after i bought the car. I believe it is a manufacturer problem and should be recalled and corrected.

The rear hatch where the handle bar is to close the back hatch has ripped off. This is now hanging and has caused the back plastic piece that holds my window, windshield wiper, and where i am supposed to pull the hatch door down to be useless. It just flaps now. I cant shut my door with the handle that was provided since it fell off!! I hope this doesn't make my windshield leak or hurt the wiper. *tr

Now there are various electronic parts, belts, etc exposed. I was told by ford that…
