Replying to: tkhilliard (Jun 19, 2006 5:29 pm) mentioned the goodwill thing, they laughed.   That's when you reply that you'll laugh all the way to the Chevy/Toyota/Nissan/Dodge dealer next time, but first you're going to tell all your friends at Edmunds about the rust.   It might not hurt to keep your receipts in case people start getting them fixed by the factory.   Steve, Host

Replying to: tkhilliard (Jun 19, 2006 5:29 pm) the thing is, it's up to you to earn the 'goodwill'. if you are not a regular service customer, forget it. the service department reviews your history and goes from there. i have gotten goodwill a couple of times on different vehicles. this is also known as 'awa'. it's good for 6 years or 75k, whichever comes first. you usually have to pay part of the repair too.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jun 20, 2006 3:26 pm) i've been searching around and there are ALOT of the new style (03 and up) with the rust spots on the hatch. youd think they'd do something. it would make them look better as a company to admit fault and repair,, to me anyway. when i was in there one tech mentioned something about the new style f-150 doors rusting on the bottoms and they are covered, but not the expedition hatch? kinda crappy but what can ya do.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jun 20, 2006 3:26 pm) Not true. Never had a vehicle in for service. I have always done my own. When the trany went on my explorer at 55,000 miles (19,000 miles past the warrantee) the dealer replaced it as good will and I only had to pay $38.00 for shop materials.

Replying to: sixtiesrock (Apr 17, 2006 9:49 am) I went out today to wash my 03 E.B. and noticed the same. I checked it and found that the hatch is aluminum, not metal. Cant be rust I guess. lol
#18 of 41 Tailgate Blistering Rusting by ekm1 Oct 20, 2006 (11:12 am)
I have a 03 Expedition under warranty for a few more weeks...blistering at the tailgate was fixed under warranty but now it is blistering on the inside panel with the outer skin meets the inner and blistering from the seam. They said they will fix it but will not cover it again if it blister more. Asked for replacement...said no, asked for additional 3 years on tailgate repairs...said no. Great company and products!!!

Replying to: sixtiesrock (Apr 17, 2006 9:49 am) I just had the "bubbling paint" on the rear lift gate on my 03 Expedition fixed. They said the lift gate is aluminum so it isn't rust but bad paint/aluminum adhesion. My Expedition has nearly 50,000 miles, and I had no history with the dealership (the guy who sold me the truck had just changed dealerships 2 months prior), and they still fixed it under some vague "goodwill policy". They claimed that Ford would pay 60%, the dealership 20% and me 20%. I considered this an admission of guilt to a manufacturing defect and considered pushing for full payment by Ford/dealer. In the end I agreed to pay $200. I wonder how long this repair will last. Replies to this message: rodeogirl (Oct 05, 2007 7:57 pm)
