Had minor accident with lift gate - when getting that checked is when we saw the top of the roof is peeling. Have no idea how long it has been happening. First dealership said maybe Ford will help as it is just out of warranty. Second dealership says it will fix it with my tailgate repair - so I hope it will be resolved soon. I was prepared for battle......

My 2005 Ford Explorer is killing me. It is 2008 and the paint is peeling off the roof like crazy. It has even started on the hatch. Furthermore, the hinges on the hatch are starting to rust already! I am so disappointed. This should not be happening on a 3 year old vehicle!

I have an 05 Explorer and the paint on the roof is peeling/flaking off. Called the dealership and they said that it was not under warranty, sorry not covered. Now the paint is peeling off the back hatch. I think I am going to go and try to trade it in at the dealership and see what they say about trade in amount due to the paint, not that I want another Ford but I just want to say "See, you won't even take your own vehicle back due to the paint".

This problem with the paint peeling off the roof is not an isolated incident. It appears that a lot of this type vehicle has a problem with paint peeling. I was also told that FOMOCO was not responsible for this problem. I intend to take this to small claims court if necessary. I will be using complaints listed here to help me in court. Thanks for the input. Also the side black panels are peeling ,but they all do this.
