#37 of 41 Re: 2000 Ford Expedition Premature Rusting [charlibob] by wvgasguy Aug 02, 2008 (5:50 pm)
Replying to: charlibob (Jul 14, 2008 2:21 pm) I can understand being upset with the rust mentioned by the previous poster under his vehicle. I can't see however how rust on the roof "snuck up" on you. Dollar sized rust spots going through the metal in less than a year??? Surely there was some bubbled paint or small spots showing up earlier. Do you wax your vehicle?
#38 of 41 2007 Ford Expedition Lift Gate Paint Bubbling by wilson1971 Sep 08, 2009 (12:18 pm)
I have a 2007 Ford Expedition EL and at 37000 miles I have found that the paint is bubbling near the right side of the lic. plate. Ford has rejected the claim numerous times.   Let me know if anybody has experienced this issue. Replies to this message: jkl4 (Dec 01, 2009 5:36 pm) alwaysfords2 (Dec 02, 2009 5:42 am)

Very common problem. It is an aluminum tailgate so it is oxidation as opposed to rust. Some people have luck getting it fixed at no cost, others are not so lucky.

It is peeling from the top down, no apparent rust. Replies to this message: alwaysfords2 (Dec 02, 2009 5:42 am)

Replying to: jkl4 (Dec 01, 2009 5:36 pm) I'd guess they will fix that for you. If it is the same as earlier models, it is an easy panel to switch, they are riveted into the body and with the quarter windows opened you have great access. I had one ripped off my car while it was in transit to me across the country and it was no big deal. It was a bigger deal that the thing held on for a while and gouged the quarter panel. Would have been nicer had it just come completely off.
