“PAINT IS CHIPING FROM THE HOOD AND FROM THE TRUNK DOOR. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT IT VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT DRIVES VERY SMOOTH, BUT ONCE I HIT ABOVE 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTS TO FEEL SHAKY. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL.”

“I'M HAVING PAINT PEELING OFF THE BACK OF MY CAR AND THE FRONT OF HOOD AND THE MORE I WASHED MY SUV PAINT PEELING OFF I DO HAVE SMALL CHILDREN I DON'T WANNA ACCIDENT”

“IN 2011, MY INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE STOPPED OPENING THE DOOR BUT DIDN'T COME OFF. I THOUGHT IT JUST BROKE AND WOULD GET IT FIXED WHEN I COULD AFFORD TO. BUT THEN IN 2012, THE BACK INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF IN MY SON'S HAND BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET OUT AND IT WOULDN'T UNLATCH. NOT TOO LONG AFTER, THE DRIVER SIDE BACK INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF IN MY HAND. NOW I WAS POSITIVE THERE HAD TO BE RECALL OF SOME SORT. SO I WENT SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION ONLINE. I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH [XXX]. I EVEN TOOK MY CAR IN AND HE SAID MY VIN WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH HANDLE RECALL. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT CONSIDERING I HAD MULTIPLE HANDLES THAT BROKE OFF WITHOUT ANY FORCE AT ALL. AS THE DRIVER, I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR OPENING ALL PASSENGER DOORS TO LET PEOPLE OUT OF MY CAR. TODAY, JANUARY 20TH, 2017, THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF RIGHT IN MY HANDS. NOW, NOT EVEN I AS THE DRIVER CAN GET OUT WITHOUT THE WINDOW BEING DOWN TO ACCESS THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. I HAVE 6 CHILDREN AND NOBODY CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR NOW. AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON FORD EXPEDITION INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES, SO…”

“FORD EXPEDITION 2008 PURCHASED NEW IN 2009 FROM MULLINAX FORD IN LAKE PARK FL HAD PAINT BLISTER ON THE HOOD AND BACK END IN 2011 WHICH IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. MULLINAX BODY SHOP SAID PAINT NOT COVERED AFTER 1 YEAR AND QUOTED EXPENSIVE PAINT JOB. I ASKED IF THAT IS WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT FROM A FORD MOTOR VEHICLE SINCE THIS WAS MY 1ST FORD. I ALSO ASKED IF THIS WAS GOOD ADVERTISEMENT FOR FORD WITH THE OBVIOUS PAINT PEEL EVERYWHERE WE GO. I TELL THE STORY TO EVERYONE I SEE OR ASKS WITH A 7 MEMBER FAMILY PLAYING SPORTS, SCHOOL, WORK, CHURCH, ETC. NOW THAT IT'S TIME TO REPLACE, I WONDER IF FORD EXPECTS US TO PURCHASE A FORD SUV FOR OVER $60,000+ VERSUS ALL THE OPTIONS OUT THERE. HMMM FORD COULD HAVE DONE A SIMPLE PAINT JOB AT THEIR "COST" YEARS AGO FOR OUR LOYALTY MANY MANY CARS GOING FORWARD. BURN US ONCE, SHAME ON YOU......TWICE....BAD DECISION MULLINAX FORD.”
