Rust Of Hood With Paint Bubbling
2011 Ford Explorer
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The NHTSA's complaint data shows potentially scary power steering problems with the 2011 Ford Explorer.
The steering complaints are pretty serious - owners report the power steering cuts out while driving. The NHTSA opened an investigation into the power steering problems in June 2012, which lead to a recall in 2014. However years later, many 2011 Explorer owners report this defect is still occurring.
It's too bad because the 2009 & 2010 Ford Explorer are solid, trouble-free model years.

Ford dealer wants more than $2000 to replace and paint the hood! This is insane, the part is faulty, the hood has been protected since new with 3M film, so the problem is not caused by rock chips. Ford needs to fix the corrosion issues with these aluminum hoods, this is not reasonable for a 6 year old vehicle.
