NHTSA Complaint #10898423 — 2008 FORD EXPEDITION

FORD EXPEDITION 2008 PURCHASED NEW IN 2009 FROM MULLINAX FORD IN LAKE PARK FL HAD PAINT BLISTER ON THE HOOD AND BACK END IN 2011 WHICH IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. MULLINAX BODY SHOP SAID PAINT NOT COVERED AFTER 1 YEAR AND QUOTED EXPENSIVE PAINT JOB. I ASKED IF THAT IS WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT FROM A FORD MOTOR VEHICLE SINCE THIS WAS MY 1ST FORD. I ALSO ASKED IF THIS WAS GOOD ADVERTISEMENT FOR FORD WITH THE OBVIOUS PAINT PEEL EVERYWHERE WE GO. I TELL THE STORY TO EVERYONE I SEE OR ASKS WITH A 7 MEMBER FAMILY PLAYING SPORTS, SCHOOL, WORK, CHURCH, ETC. NOW THAT IT'S TIME TO REPLACE, I WONDER IF FORD EXPECTS US TO PURCHASE A FORD SUV FOR OVER $60,000+ VERSUS ALL THE OPTIONS OUT THERE. HMMM FORD COULD HAVE DONE A SIMPLE PAINT JOB AT THEIR "COST" YEARS AGO FOR OUR LOYALTY MANY MANY CARS GOING FORWARD. BURN US ONCE, SHAME ON YOU......TWICE....BAD DECISION MULLINAX FORD.
