Ford Expedition Rust and Paint Problems

• Re: Determining if a used Expedition will develop bubbling paint [alalalp]

  Written by: obus on Apr 16, 2013 6:02:00 AM

  Easy Answer...if it doesnt show bubbling it has been repaired. ALL Expy's from 2000 olr so onward have this problem. If the vehicle has an aluminum hood and aluminum tailgate it will bubble. If it is done correctly following the Ford TSB the repair should not come back. Should is the operative word. Live with it or dont buy one. If it hasnt blistered by 70K miles it just may not. ...

  Does the vibration come and go, i.e. is it smooth for a short while and then increase? That's often the way it goes with tires out of balance. Where did you get your tires? Hate to say it, but I've had rotten luck with places like Walmart, or even discount tire places.

  I would take it to a Ford dealer and pay the diagnostic rates to have it truly diagnosed. The dealer tech has instruments to read all mechanical devices when it stalls: fuel trim, throttle opening, transmission movements, etc. A few hours diagnosis will be expensive, but cheaper than all the parts you've replaced.
