Description of the problem	I own a 2004 mercury mountaineer. About a week ago i noticed a crack in the rear liftgate panel of my vehicle. The crack curves around the mercury logo located on the rear panel. I contacted the dealer and he said ford is very aware of this problem and he repairs many cracked liftgates on ford/mercury suv's, especially in the winter due to expanding and contracting of plastic. It is almost halfway down the back and am afraid that the window will pop out while driving and cause an accident or injure someone. It is a safety hazard. Ford needs to recall these vehicles and fix this problem. It should not be the responsibility of the consumer, since it is a defect of the suv.
