Consumer Description

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.
