The air conditioning unit is leaking excessive amounts of water under the carpet and the water is pooling under the rug and flowing into the channel where the wiring harness is located. This wiring harness does not look to be protected from water and it is a mater of time before the insulation on this wire breaks down and shorts out to the frame.
2005 Ford Expedition, paint cracking and peeling on the roof. Of course I did not notice it till 102,000 miles. I did take it to the dealer and they basically told me that Ford would not have fixed it 100% anyway. They do a one-third (Ford), one-third (dealer), one-third (customer) pays. I find this very unacceptable. You buy a $60+++ vehicle and the paint holds no guarantee. I guess I'm luckier than the other guy though, you really don't notice the roof. The dealer said it would be about a $1500 repaint. I plan on chipping it off as much as I can, sanding it and then getting some black plastisol coating. Luckily again my Expedition is black and the problem is between the luggage rack runners and sunroof.
Ford Expedition paint. I purchased a new 2005 Ford Expedition eddie bauer edition in 5/2005 from a car dealer. The 36000/3 year warranty has expired and the paint is blistering on the tailgate. I called dealer and they said it is a manufacturing defect and they will not pay for it but it will do no good to fix it unless the entire tailgate is replaced with steel. There is a service bulletin out on this issue and they are not standing behind it.
