Have rust bubbles on inside bottom of rear lift gate. Took to dealer and was told this is common problem where lift gate was not manufactured properly. For a car less than 5 years old, this should not be rusting.
2012 Ford Expedition body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Recently, the rear tailgate around the lift handle has become corroded and the paint is peeling. I keep the vehicle stored and rarely use it. I keep it in immaculate condition and very well maintained. This is the only blemish on it, but I can see it is getting worse and will eventually need to be repaired and repainted. I understand the is a problem with all expeditions and believe ford should be responsible for the repair since it appears to be a manufacturing defect.
Paint blisters are starting to appear on rear lift gate where the handle is attached. Dealer has indicated that this is corrosion due to the aluminium material that the lift gate is made of and poor prep work or contamination from the factory paint.
Vehicle accelerated unintended and unexpected. Speed was uncontrollable. Driver avoided to the best of his abilities standing workers and unintentionally hit two other vehicles and workers inside those vehicles. 6 injured taken by ambulance two critically hurt!
