There is a vertical crack on the rear of the vehicle starting underneath the window. Length of about 2 to 3 inches. Just seemed to appear. Was not there one day then there the next. ## VIN failed.

Body problem #2

I have a 2005 Ford explorer. There is a bonding issue on the roof. The paint is separating and leaving the primer alone on the vehicle. Ford has ignored my requests for assistance. I purchased the truck 14 months ago as a certified preowned and brought this to their attention 4 months into my ownership. After the corporate office ignored my issue, I brought it to the dealership who said "it isn't our problem. ".
