The paint is starting to bubble in several spots on the front edge of the hood. I see no rust of any kind just bubbling paint. I meticulously care for this car regular wash and waxes.
The door, windshield, and external window seals are rapidly deteriorating, the paint on the car hood is blistering and about to peel off like paint did on cars several ago, leaving bare metal visible underneath.
At the edge of the hood the paint is bubbling, my claim at Ford has been denied at under 4 years old.
Paint is peeling on the edge of the hood. Two Explorers 2015 family owns and peeling in the same location. Contacted Ford and was told we had to buy a new hood. There are many complaints on the internet saying the same thing. This paint less hood needs to be recalled due to factory fault or repainted how ever Ford does it. Around 2000. 00 for a new one they told us. Paint should last more then 3 to 4 years.
Car hood paint is bubbling and painting. There have been no accidents and the car only has 33,000 miles on it. Ford will not cover it under the mfgr warranty since the in service date is over 3 years.
The SUV is only 3 years old we bought it new from the lot then. I noticed today the hood is bubbling up and the paint is chipping off. This drivers door is cracking at the seem. Very poor quality from Ford.
The hood on our 2015's paint is peeling off. We are told the same hood is on the 2016 Explorer and there is a recall on the paint. . . We have bumper to bumper warranty. How do we get this repainted.
After 2 years of use the paint on the front of the hood is bubbling. Clearly this is a manufacturing defect as this is a garage car and has been taken care of. On the advice of customer service, I took the car to the dealership who indicated that this is not a uncommon issue. The dealership told me to speak to customer service again. So, I called the Ford customer number and spoke to janet who continued to repeat that they are no longer responsible for the defect because it showed up after my allotted mileage for warranty. She refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor and said they would contact me within 1 business day. I am still waiting for that call. After the disturbing call with janet, I spoke with antoinette and she told me she would speak to the service supervisor and give me a call back after another days she called back telling me they would not help me with the cost. I can clearly see on the internet that this does happen to Ford Explorers and many others have complained. Ford has conveniently crafted their contract to easily exclude paint issues due to mileage when that has nothing to do with paint.
