Take them to small claims court. The warranty defense is irrelevant. This is a manufacturing defect and one that Ford has been aware of for over a decade. The only way to fix it is to strip it, remove the oxidation, and repaint it.

Do we know what years this affects? What is the newest truck we have seen with the problem? Mine is an 08.

I've been shopping 2009-2012 Expeditions and found the problem on all but one of them (we have looked at or called about over 60 vehicles).

Paint bumbling

I got the exact same canned response from Ford. What a bunch of BS.
Last Ford I will ever buy!

My 2010 tail gate just started to blister near the chrome. How does the paint stick to the new F150 ? Why buy one ?

Paint bubbling

I've been dealing with this paint issue on my 2008 Expedition since 2009. Ford won't do anything about this. I was thinking of getting a group of us together and showing our trucks to the media since Ford is pushing the aluminum F-150. Every expedition and navigator on the road has this problem.

I also have this problem on my 07. Its bad around the rear window, license plate and chrome trim piece. You can clearly see the aluminum in spots around the window. Its also starting on the underside of my hood too.

Local guy body shop quoted me ~$800 to take off the hatch, strip, repaint and reinstall. Sounds like that's a good price from what I can see.

Make sure you get a lifetime warranty on the paint. If the oxidation remains and is simply painted over, it will peel again.

I have the same problem as all, 2007 with bubbling and chips in hood and hatch. Got a quote of 1800 to do both, with removing all Hw before painting. I'll look for another quote or two, looks like I could get down to 1500 or so. I'll be sending a note to ford also, but I'm skeptical.
