2010 Ford Expedition Structure

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED COROSSION AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIFTGATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIFTGATE NEEDED TO BE REFINISHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THERE ARE 3 SPOTS SO FAR THAT HAVE BUBBLED UP ON THE HOOD AND TAILGATE OF MY VEHICLE. IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY TILL 06/15 BUT FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

BUBBLING OF PAINT LOCATED CENTRALLY ON TAILGATE IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS AROUND METAL EDGE AND AROUND LICENSE PLATE, IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTIES OR PURCHASED $3500 EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE EITHER...NICE FORD! *TR

PAINT IS BLISTERING ON THE HOOD AND REAR TAILGATE, WHICH ARE MADE OF ALUMINUM. FORD WON'T COVER THIS UNDER THEIR CORROSION WARRANTY UNLESS THERE IS PERFORATION THRU TO THE SHEET METAL. BY THE TIME THIS OCCURS THE WARRANTY IS UP AND THE PAINT IS FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR

PAINT IS BUBBLING ON LIFT GATE. *TR

AFTER ONLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED CORROSION AND PAINT BUBBLING ON THE HOOD AND TAILGATE. THESE BODY PANELS ARE ALUMINUM AND THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN, ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER IS VERY RELUCTANT TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.

THE PAINT ON THE REAR HATCH IS BUBBLING, FORD STATES THEY DO NOT HAVE A ISSUE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY 2004 EXPEDITION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THE PROBLEM SEEMS VERY WIDESPREAD. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS COULD HAPPEN ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE, ONLY SEND ME A FORM LETTER RESPONSE. *TR
