Paint is bubbling on tailgate. Common problem. Ford dealer knows about it, ford knows about it. Ford will not repair as there is no metal perforation. Aluminum tailgate is corroding under paint. This should not happen on a 3 -4 year old vehicle.

I understand the is a problem with all expeditions and believe ford should be responsible for…

Have rust bubbles on inside bottom of rear lift gate. Took to dealer and was told this is common problem where lift gate was not manufactured properly. For a car less than 5 years old, this should not be rusting.
