“My interior door handle springs out and has to be force back in place. I'm told there was a recall and it was fixed. I'm not arguing that some time has passed but if that's the case why is this happening exactly as the recall state.”
NHTSA complaint #11100582, filed 2018-06, 163,000 miles“I bought a brand new 2007 Ford Expedition eddie bawer, the vehicle is still under warranty. Last year the Ford dealership changed the hood since it was rusting. Now the tail gate is rusting and the paint bubbling, but Ford has refused to replace the tailgate. I live in central florida and the vehicle has never been up north or near the coast. I have never had a vehicle rust like this.”
NHTSA complaint #10437212, filed 2011-11, 55,000 miles“Noticed the paint bubbling on the hood and lift gate of my 2007 Ford Expedition . I contacted Ford to see if there was a recall or this would be covered under warranty and they said no to both inquiries. The problem has gotten worst and is continuing to grow .”
NHTSA complaint #10476553, filed 2012-09, 52,000 miles“We were loading up our 2007 Ford Expedition to go out.

The 2 contacts were dangling from the truck, but the glass was completely shattered out.”
NHTSA complaint #10365512, filed 2010-11, 92,500 miles“Electronic rear hatch make an awful noise when opening and closing. It has been to the dealer twice for repair.
