tailgate paint popper
I am new to the forum..
I have a 2012 Ford Explorer with 124,000 kms.
i know i know its big, but here's the thing nothing noticable on the front/mirrors etc in the form of stone chips, no dents..
but on the tailgate right beside the beginning of the "chrome" explorer handle.
I have a paint circle about a 1/2 inch "popped" off right down to the metal, no rust, just a grey metal circle.
I called Ford/went to the dealer took some pics and got the Ford 2 step shuffle in regards to the Km's..
Here's the thing if this was in the front no questions, if there was a dent no questions, but to have the paint pop off where it is on the tailgate.. its obviously a defect and to summarily dismiss me because of the miles (the car is 2.5 years old) sucks..
I've had cars 5 times older and not have that issue
outside of that and some other issues.. ie the splitting of the seam on the armrest ( i saw that on another forum here as well.. ) the truck has been very reliable and its good on gas and we love it.. but this and the reaction of Ford not to look at the situation for what it is will definately factor into my decision to buy another Ford..
