THE PAINT ON THE LIFT GATE IS BUBBLING AND PEELING, CAUSED BY A PROBLEM WITH THE ALUMINUM. A PROBLEM THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF BEFORE MY CAR WAS SOLD.

WE WERE EXPERIENCING STALLS AND OVERALL SLUGGISHNESS AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD US WE NEEDED A TUNE UP. MY HUSBAND USUALLY DOES MINOR UPKEEP, THANKED THE MAN AND WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OUR TRUCK HOME WHEN THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE PLUGS WERE A BEAR TO CHANGE SINCE WE WOULD NEED A SPECIAL TOOL AND CHANCES ARE, THE PLUGS WOULD BREAK OFF. WE WERE SKEPTICAL BUT TRUSTED HIM TO DO THE JOB. IT COST SO MUCH AND TOOK SO LONG, WE BOUGHT A BEATER CAR IN THE INTERIM SO WE COULD GET TO WORK! AND IT COST OVER $1000...FOR A TUNE UP!!! IT LOOKS LIKE FORD KNOWS FULL WELL ABOUT THIS BUILT IN MONEY MAKER SINCE I SEE WE ARE IN GOOD COMPANY WITH MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. SHAME ON FORD.

IT TAKES FOREVER TO DRIBBLE GAS INTO THE TANK AT THE FILLING STATION; THE BACK PRESSURE IN THE FILLER PIPE CUTS OUT THE PUMP SO BAD IT TAKES OVER 20 MINUTES TO FILL THE LARGE TANK; THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN BAD WEATHER AND MORE THAN ANNOYING ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE AS IT ENCOURAGES SPEEDING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME!

MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AT 7:00 AM WHEN I HEARD A CRASH. I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE THE BACK LIFT GATE GLASS HAD EXPLODED, ALL ELSE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WAS QUIET AT THAT HOUR. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL NO IMPACT FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE, IT WAS BACKED IN CLOSE TO A BOAT. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS PRIOR AND HAD NOTICED NO PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW. WHEN I CLEANED UP THE MESS I FOUND A GOOD AMOUNT OF THE SMALL GLASS PIECES WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE REMAINDER WERE ON THE GROUND BEHIND THE VEHICLE WITHIN TEN FEET OR SO. THE LARGEST PIECES OF GLASS WERE SMALLER THAN MY PALM.
