I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAWER, THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. LAST YEAR THE FORD DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE HOOD SINCE IT WAS RUSTING. NOW THE TAIL GATE IS RUSTING AND THE PAINT BUBBLING, BUT FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE. I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN UP NORTH OR NEAR THE COAST. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE RUST LIKE THIS. *TR

WE PURCHASED A USED 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EL WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT FROM A CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FEW MONTHS WE NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND THE LIFTGATE WAS BUBBLING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE PAINT WAS OXIDIZING, NOT RUSTING. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FILE A CLAIM UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT WAS DENIED. WE HAVE TRIED A SECOND TIME AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK. A VEHICLE WITH A $50,000 MSRP THAT HAS THE PAINT BUBBLING OFF AFTER 2 AND A HALF YEARS IS TERRIBLE. I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
