2014 FORD EXPEDITION Structurebody Problems

Minor side impact. All repairs were make and no issues noted

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 29, 2020, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK FROM CHURCH, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. IT WAS PARKED ON A GRAVEL DRIVE WAY, IN PARK, AND THE KEY REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS EXITED AT APPROXIMATELY 12:35PM. AT 2:46PM IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UP AGAINST A TOWABLE MAN-LIFT WITH THE TONGUE OF IT INSIDE THE FRONT GRILL OF THE VEHICLE. THE KEYS WERE RETRIEVED FROM THE HOME'S DINING ROOM TABLE A SHORT TIME LATER AND THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED OFF OF THE MAN-LIFT AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET TO ASSURE THAT IT DID NOT ROLL AGAIN. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED, IN 'PARK', AND EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. AT THIS POINT IT WAS REALIZED THAT A RING CAMERA WAS OBSERVING THE AREA. THE VIDEO WAS RETRIEVED TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THE VIDEO SHOWS THAT AT 12:41PM, SIX MINUTES AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN...

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS CLOSE AND SECURE. THE DOOR LATCH SOMETIMES STAYS IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. UNSAFE AS YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR UNSECURED.ALSO THE SHIFTING LEVER WILL OCCASIONALLY STICK IN PARK AND WILL NOT COME OUT EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE. UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IN PARK ON SIDE OF ROAD OR HIGHWAY YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF PARK WHEN CLEAR TO DO SO. DEALER SAID THEY CAN NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN MOTION WAS TO DRIVE WITH DRIVERS DOOR NOT SECURED.

PAINT BUBBLING ON THE REAR LIFT GATE. THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO CONTAMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM BEFORE PAINTING. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT IS IGNORING IT, CLAIMING IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND OR THE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON HOOD AND TAILGATE ON MULTIPLE FORD MODELS. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB: 17-0062 ABOUT THIS ISSUE:. HTTP://WWW.REVBASE.COM/BBBMOTOR/TSB/DOWNLOADPDF?ID=201136 THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS TO THIS CAR. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SOUTH EAST, SO NO ISSUES WITH SALT.

FORD RECALL ON EXPLORER MODEL REGARDING THE VEHICLE NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE SHIFT GEAR IS IN THE PARKING SETTING,THEREFORE THE KEY IS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED...ALSO RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE CONSIDERING THAT SINCE PARKING ISN'T ENABLED THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD TO THE RECORDS THAT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS MALFUNCTION IN 3 DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS INCLUDING 2012 AND 2008. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REPORT THAT THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING BOARDS HAVE BECOME DIS ENGAGED IN THE MOTOR AND ONLY WORK RANDOMLY WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING VEHICLE.
