PAINT BUBBLING/BLISTERING UP ON BACK LIFT GATE.
RUST IN THE CHANNELS OF THE ROOF HAS PENETRATED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE SHEET METAL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND IS OTHERWISE IN PERFECT CONDITION. *TR
THE PAINT ON THE LIFT GATE IS BUBBLING AND PEELING, CAUSED BY A PROBLEM WITH THE ALUMINUM. A PROBLEM THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF BEFORE MY CAR WAS SOLD.
I HAVE A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER UNDER 5 YEARS OLD THAT THE TAILGATE IS SEVERELY BLISTERED ALL OVER, PAINT HAS EVEN POPPED OFF OF IT. THERE IS ALSO SOME ON THE HOOD. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ADMITTED THAT FORD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BLISTERING PAINT AND TOLD ME HOW BAD MY VEHICLE WAS. THEY TOOK PICTURES AND SENT TO FORD. FORD REP DENIED IT AND I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN IF HOLES APPEARED AS A RESULT NOW THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY DENIED AND ONLY LOOK AT A CLAIM FOR ONE THING ONE TIME. I PURSUED FURTHER BY CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EMAILING THEM AS WELL. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ALSO ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH PAINT BLISTER BUT COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME BECAUSE IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DENIED. I HAVE OWNED FORDS ALL OF MY LIFE AND EVEN WORKED FOR A LINCOLN MERCURY DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM CONTINUING TO PURSUE THIS AS FAR AS I CAN AND ASK FOR ANY HELP THAT CAN BE OFFERED IN THIS MATTER. *TR

PAINTED METAL TRIM AT THE BOTTOM OF SIDE WINDOWS IS RUSTING AND THE PAINT IS PEELING. IF PAINTED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY NO WAY THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THIS SAME PRBLEM ON MANY OTHER EXPEDITIONS, YET FORD SAYS NOT THERE PROBLEM. *TR

THANKFULLY NO CRASH HAS HAPPENED YET. HOWEVER, MY COMPLAINT DEALS WITH MY 2006 LIMITED FORD EXPEDITION. IN THE BACK WHERE THE THIRD ROW SEATS ARE LOCATED, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR THOSE PASSENGERS TO ESCAPE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE BACK WINDOW DOES NOT HAVE A SWITCH/RELEASE TO OPEN ANY WINDOWS. THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF DEVICE TO OPEN THE TAIL GATE. *TR
