Potential Consequences:
I OPENED THE ELECTRIC LIFTGATE AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PLACING A WHEELCHAIR INTO THE BACK COMPARTMENT WHEN THE HATCH DECIDED TO CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. THE LIFTGATE STRUCK ME ON THE HEAD AND CONTINUED TO PUSH ME DOWN. I HAD TO PUSH ON THE LIFTGATE AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET IT TO REVERSE. IF A YOUNG CHILD HAD BEEN HIT IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES. WE CALLED 2 FORD DEALERS WHO OFFERED TO GIVE US AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE WITH A 2 WEEK WAIT. (BOY, DO THEY CARE). I ENDED UP WITH A MILD CONCUSSION......NAUSEA AND MILD LIGHTHEADEDNESS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO STOP THIS LIFTGATE FROM HURTING PEOPLE....

MY DAUGHTER'S SEAT BELT (BACK PASSAGER BEHIND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT) DID NOT UNCLIP. JUST THE TWO ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Potential Consequences:
AFTER REFUELING AT A BP SERVICE STATION, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE FUEL FILLER DOOR. I DIDN'T WANT TO FORCE THE REMOVAL OF THE NOZZLE SO I CALLED FORD ROAD SIDE ASSIST. AFTER TRYING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS THEY SUGGESTED HAVING THE CAR TOWED. I EXPLAINED THE CAR CANNOT BE TOWED BECAUSE THE NOZZLE WAS STUCK IN THE DOOR. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL AND HAD NO FIX. THE BP ATTENDANT HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND SUGGESTED I TAKE THE EDGE OF A SCISSOR WHICH SHE SUPPLIED AND WEDGE IT BETWEEN THE NOZZLE AND DOOR. IT WORKED. THE NOZZLE RELEASED FROM THE DOOR. THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST FILL UP AS MY CAR HAS ONLY 344 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR
