#6 of 8 Re: 2004 Ford Explorer Rust [motorman41] by 2004xlt Nov 10, 2008 (3:04 pm)
Replying to: motorman41 (Oct 16, 2008 1:42 pm) I also have a 2004 Explorer (XLT) - bought directly off the indoor showroom floor with only (3) miles on it. This truck is not even in use for (6) months out of the year and is garage kept. I just noticed that there are a few spots on the front of the hood that are bubbling up. I called the Ford dealer to ask about any recalls on the paint and was told that it may have been due to a nick in the paint, but there isn't even an opening or crack in the rust bubble - yet! I've always purchased brand new Ford vehicles too. Please let me know if you were able to resolve your complaint with Ford. Thank you.

Replying to: monexp (Mar 14, 2007 1:18 pm) here is the warranty wording.....does this mean paint is covered if there is no perforation ????   Corrosion Coverage Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Corrosion coverage (which lasts for 5 years, regardless of miles driven) only applies if the corrosion causes perforation (holes) in body sheet metal panels.   If corrosion does not cause perforation (holes), and is not the result of usage and/or environmental conditions, paint damage is covered under the terms of the Bumper to Bumper Warranty (3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first).   link title
