Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED EXPLORER IN LATE JUNE OF LAST YEAR WITH APPROX 25000 MILES ON IT. THE A-PILLAR MOLDING FLEW OFF IN TRAFFIC LAST WEEK AND I JUST FOUND OUT, THESE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE AND REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.
