When the temperature is below freezing outside the driver side door will not lock or unlock. The door opens while driving. This has been happening since the vehicle as newer (and under warranty) dealers and factory are unwilling to repair this as a good will.

Paint bubbling/blistering up on back lift gate.

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.

Was driving down off ramp lost all power to the vehicle, no steering, no brakes. I had my 3 children in the vehicle with me and thankfully I was able to cost to the shoulder until help arrived. Extremely scary had it happen 2 minutes earlier would of been off the ramp and into oncoming traffic! This is unacceptable!! My mechanic says it's the fuel pump, and just the part is 500 dollars?!? This could of ended very badly and I have had nothing but issues with this piece of junk. The paint is peeling off, looks like no primer or sealer was used it literally is flaking off on the hood and rear gate right where you would put your hands to open it. In the manual in very small print it says the oil from your fingers may cause paint to corrode, are you kidding me??? Your not supposed to open your hood or tailgate??? Ridiculous!! This vehicle in my opinion is a lemon!!

I was driving on a two lane highway, fm 185. I was driving northeast while the other driver was somewhat stopped heading west, trying to turn south onto cattle drive. The other driver was stopped at an intersection awaiting to turn left. The other driver turned left in front of me as I was headed straight. The initial impact was driver's front side and then down the drivers side door. We hit, and then my vehicle did a 180 degree turn which turned my vehicle around facing my initial path of direction. My airbags did not deploy. I had curtain side airbags, driver, and passenger air bags as well. The airbags of the car causing the accident did deploy.

2006 ford expedition limited. Consumer writes in regards warranty repair dispute and driver's side power window being extremely slow in the closing operation *tgw the dealer lubed the window and stated there was no problem found. After complaining several times about the window, the dealer finally determined there was a problem. However, the consumer was informed the parts and labor were not covered under the extended warranty. The consumer stated the problem existed going back to dec 11, 2006 and the defect was not addressed or corrected while the vehicle was under the original factory warranty. The consumer stated he should not be responsible for repairs that were callously overlooked and ignored by the dealer. Also, the lower radiator support to the body mount was severely rusted and showed signs of actual material failure. The consumer stated the condition can and will evolve into the root cause of both mechanical and safety related failures. The major body and front frame support failing under driving conditions could lead to engine failure, and loss of control of the vehicle. The most serious safety concern, was the front brake lines which were showing signs of serious rust. The dealer informed the consumer the lines could only be replaced under warranty if there were signs of leakage. The consumer stated corrosion in the form of rust would compromise the integrity of the steel brake lines, allowing brake fluid to leak out resulting in a total loss of braking power. The left rear door would not open from the inside, the driver's front door had to be slammed in order for it to close properly, the front axle drive pinion was leaking and had to be replaced.

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.
