| Description of the problem | The hinges that hold the liftgate glass have broken and are no longer holding the rear liftgate window in place properly. I can no longer open the window because i will not be able to close it. I took it to the dealer and event though they acknowledge the fact that this is an issue on lincoln aviators and that they have had to fix numerous aviator in the past for this same issue they will not cover the repair if the vehicle is out of warranty. |
