Issues with the power liftgate in the 2017 Ford Explorer are frequently reported by customers. The problem can stem from various sources like a faulty liftgate strut, a broken sensor, or malfunctioning wiring. Identifying these issues can be done through a systematic troubleshooting process. Start by using an OHM meter to check if power is reaching the liftgate. Then, examine the wiring for corrosion or shorts and inspect the condition of the liftgate struts. The cost of replacing the liftgate can range from $500 to $650, depending on the part needed. On the other hand, replacing the liftgate sensor is a simpler and less labor-intensive task, costing between $20 and $40.

    My rear door pops open unexpectedly after I shut the car door. When the car is in drive, I hear a chime indicating the rear door is trying to open. The only way I can prevent the rear door from opening while the car is turned off and in park is to lock all the doors.
