Consumer Description

ON LOOKING AT THE REAR TAILGATE I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE RUST SPOTS ( 4 IN ALL ). THE PAINT IS BUBBLED TO THE POINT I THINK WILL BREAK SOON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY (6/7/16) THEY SAID IT WAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH FORD . THE DEALER GUS JOHNSON FORD SPOKANE, WASH SAID IT IS A FORD PROBLEM AND NOT THERE'S. I FEEL IF I WOULD OF BE TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT ANY FORD CAR. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM WAS KEEP FROM JUST TO MAKE A SALE. WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT OTHER CARS BUT SURLY NOT FORDS
