3 Tailgate problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2008

Ford Expedition paint. I purchased a new 2005 Ford Expedition eddie bauer edition in 5/2005 from a car dealer. The 36000/3 year warranty has expired and the paint is blistering on the tailgate. I called dealer and they said it is a manufacturing defect and they will not pay for it but it will do no good to fix it unless the entire tailgate is replaced with steel. There is a service bulletin out on this issue and they are not standing behind it.
