What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?  The exterior B-pillar trim on the side of the vehicle became detached while the vehicle was being driven. After the trim became loose and was temporarily secured by a Ford dealership, the vehicle's security system malfunctioned, the tailgate would not open, and the vehicle would not shut off normally. The trim piece is currently taped in place.  2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?  The trim detached while I was driving and was flapping against the vehicle. There was a risk that the part could have completely separated from the vehicle and struck another vehicle, pedestrian, or object in the roadway. I was also distracted while attempting to manage the situation and find a safe place to stop. Operating a vehicle with components coming apart created an unsafe condition for me and other motorists.  3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?  Yes. A Ford dealership observed the detached trim and temporarily secured it with tape. The trim was later repaired; however, the same component has detached again, demonstrating that the problem has recurred.  4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others?  The component was inspected by a Ford dealership, which temporarily secured the trim and later repaired it. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, to my knowledge.  5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?  There were no warning lamps or messages before the B-pillar trim detached. After the trim became loose and was temporarily secured, the vehicle began exhibiting additional symptoms, including a malfunctioning security system, inability to open the tailgate, and failure to shut off completely.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EXPLORER","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
