My 2005 Ford Explorer has multiple paint problems peeling all over the car,,the dealer said its any after market paint job I bought the car used from dave smith Ford in 2008 they are trying to say that the car was completely repainted within the first 3 years of the cars life.

10/1/09 noticed paint was bubbling up and peeling off the roof of my vehicle. Brought vehicle to dealer who refused to repair it since vehicle was out of warranty. Judging by what I've read on the internet plenty of Ford owners have the same problem and Ford motor CO. Refuses to fix it. Paint should not fail on brand new vehicles after four years. Once again the consumer gets no satisfaction.

The paint on my 2005 Ford Explorer is peeling off big chunks in numerous spots on the roof. I contacted Ford and they told me that since it was past my 3 year 36,000 mile warranty that it was up to me to get fixed. I want Ford to have this problem fixed. I shouldn't be having to pay for defective paint that Ford is well aware of. A recall needs to be done on Ford vehicle paint.

The paint bubbled and peeled on the roof of my 2005 Ford Explorer eddie bauer edition. Dealer says it is a paint defect but Ford does not have a recall. Had my roof repainted at my expense. Now, anytime it rains, I am getting water leaking from the rear ac unit controls and my front driver's side carpeting is soaking wet.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford Explorer. The paint is peeling off the roof of the vehicle. When the contact took her vehicle to the dealer, she was informed that they would not cover the repair costs because the vehicle had over 63,000 miles. Ford only covers the paint job if the vehicle has less than 12,000 miles. The current and failure mileages were 63,000.

Front aluminum hood began paint blistering at about 2 years of ownership. Took back to the dealer for repair. Two years later, paint blisters return. TSB 6-25-15 issued with painting guidelines but no repair authority. After second occurrence, dealer said no repairs would be made and advised us to pay to replace the hood and paint. This is unacceptable for a $45k car (limited version with all options).
