My 2011 Explorer's hood has had minor bubbling since I purchased it used in 2013. I assumed the dealership sloppily repaired a chip or two. Throughout the years the bubbling areas have gotten larger and increased in numbers alerting me to the fact I was incorrect in my assumption. My neighbor, a Ford Fanatic, recently told me this is a problem with the Explorer. The way the hood is designed holds the moisture in thus causing corrosion UNDER the paint. My paint has graduated from bubbling to cracking and now chipping. My Explorer has over 121,000 and obviously is out of warranty but as a consumer you would like to think since this is a known problem, Ford would fix this issue on current vehicles as well as redesign this flaw on newer vehicles. The paint is only the tip of the iceberg and as much as I love the look of the Explorer, I can't say that I will ever purchase another one. I have had too many problems with my particular Explorer.
