This is the latest in a string of problemsm with my Explorer. I noticed the paint chipping off the outside ridge of the roof this spring. I'm not bothering to talk to Ford based on past experience and others rants. Again, NO MORE FORDS!

2004 Explorer with bubbling and peeling paint on the roof. Talked to Local dealer this am 30 Sep 2008, he said sorry, but you are out of warranty. To fix this problem he said it will cost me $800.00.

My vehicle is parked in my heated garage. How sad that Ford will not cover this problem

The paint on the roof of my 2004 Explorer is chipping in the outside channel. I tried to talk to the ford corporation but their customer service rep told me I was SOL because it was past their 12month 12,000 mile paint warranty. My dealership has been really good and offered to split the cost 50/50 but they said that they might have to re-doo the entire top at $1700. I am going to fix it my self with touch up paint.

I took the vehicle to the Ford dealership, and they were sympathetic, but informed me that a "Ford Rep" would have to approve any repairs since I was 800 miles over their warranty period.(I had extended warranty) I was never contacted by the "Ford Rep" and he never laid eyes on my vehicle, but didn't hesitate to flatly refuse to even pay for part of the repairs. Calling the 1-800 number for Ford was no help either! Guess that's why Toyota is about to bump Ford out of 1st place in the US market. I'll never buy another Ford as long as I live!! All I expect is that the manufacturer at least offer some assistance in the repairs. Oh well, I'll just take my business elsewhere!!
