NHTSA Complaint #10284085 — 2005 FORD EXPEDITION

2005 FORD EXPEDITION, PAINT CRACKING AND PEELING ON THE ROOF. OF COURSE I DID NOT NOTICE IT TILL 102,000 MILES. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD NOT HAVE FIXED IT 100% ANYWAY. THEY DO A ONE-THIRD (FORD), ONE-THIRD (DEALER), ONE-THIRD (CUSTOMER) PAYS. I FIND THIS VERY UNACCEPTABLE. YOU BUY A $60+++ VEHICLE AND THE PAINT HOLDS NO GUARANTEE. I GUESS I'M LUCKIER THAN THE OTHER GUY THOUGH, YOU REALLY DON'T NOTICE THE ROOF. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT A $1500 REPAINT. I PLAN ON CHIPPING IT OFF AS MUCH AS I CAN, SANDING IT AND THEN GETTING SOME BLACK PLASTISOL COATING. LUCKILY AGAIN MY EXPEDITION IS BLACK AND THE PROBLEM IS BETWEEN THE LUGGAGE RACK RUNNERS AND SUNROOF. *TR
