    Paint Bubbling, We need EVERYONE to register a complaint! READ FORDS RESPONSE!!!

    Well, decided to finally get the bubbling paint from the hood & lift gate off my mind once & for all-I will be turning in the expedition for a new make. Sorry, FORD, but your unwillingness to take care of these issues on your high end products has forced me to make this decision.

    Paint Bubbling, We need EVERYONE to register a complaint! READ FORDS RESPONSE!!!

    While mine was still under warranty I noticed the bubbling paint and I was told that unless a hole develops there was nothing ford would do, and they didn't. I guess this is the out they have-I wonder how long it would take for a hole to develop in aluminum-100 years? More? Less? Either way...

    Windows slow to roll.....??

    Mine is going in tomorrow to have both front windows looked at-the drivers side is actually stuck about 2" down. And I will also have the intermittent passenger front door lock actuator replaced. Too many electrical issues for 110K miles.

    Front passenger door lock

    Lock will not activate with power lock/unlock, only manually. Any ideas? I don't want to tear it apart until I have parts to put in immediately.

    How many miles are too many?

    Holy chit!! That's a lot of miles for an 07!! Cudos to you. I have been running Mobil One full synthetic for about 40K now. I will certainly look into motorkote-thanks.

    How many miles are too many?

    I agree 100% on the maintenance issue-although I trust my local ford dealer, I perform my own regular maintenance. I do keep up on the transmission & coolant-both were recently flushed. I should get under the expy and look at the suspension & other miscellaneous items...maybe next week. I tow...

    How many miles are too many?

    I am willing to bet that this vehicle will continue to offer excellent service, but with a 4 year old & another one on the way I am wondering if this should continue to be our primary vehicle. My wife knows how much I love this one, and there's no way I am willing to drop 60K on a new one. We...

    How many miles are too many?

    I have an 07 expy with 108K miles-vehicle has been flawless (well, flawless aside from the paint issue...) but am beginning to wonder if I should look at a newer model with warranty coverage. What kind of miles do you have on your expy's, and should I reconsider buying a newer model at this...

    Has anyone had success with taking their vehicles to a good paint shop and having the bubbled areas properly prepped and painted then clear coated? Just wondering because I am no longer able to sit back and do nothing anymore-even though it kills me that ford knows about this and is doing...

    Heated & Cooled seat issue

    Thank you very much for this information. Where do you guys find this stuff? Apparently I am not looking in the right places.

    Heated & Cooled seat issue

    I didn't realize there was an under seat fan-I will look into this-thanks a lot.

    Heated & Cooled seat issue

    I have an 07 expy el eb with heated and cooled front seats. The problem I am experiencing is that the driver seat works intermittently-it will work for the first minute or so, but then turns off (while heating or cooling) and will not restart. You can press the buttons but the lights on the...

    My dealer also said that since there weren't any holes due to corrosion there wouldn't be coverage. I guess that means there will never be corrosion coverage on the hoods and lift gates since it will take many, many years for holes to develop in the aluminum.

    I too am sick of the paint bubbling on the hood and lift gate.
