PEELING PAINT ON MY FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC. IT IS PEELING MOSTLY ON THE TOP AND HOOD OF THE TRUCK. I TALKED WITH SOMEONE ON THE FORD WEBSITE BUT THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I TALKED WITH A PAINT AND BODY SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD PAINT JOB. THE ROOF ON MY VEHICLE IS NOW RUSTING AND THE BODY SHOP GUY SAID IT WILL COST OVER 2000$ TO GET IT REPAIRED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OKLAHOMA. WE ALSO BOUGHT A COVER FOR THE BACK WHICH HAD A FRAME AROUND THE BED OF THE PICKUP AND WAS HELD TOGETHER BY SOME PLASTIC CLIPS. THE CLIPS BROKE BEFORE IT WAS EVEN A YEAR OLD AND THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND WE WOULD HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW COVER WHICH COST OVER 300$.

THIS VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY JUST CUTS OFF. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT COSTLY REPAIRS AND THE TRUCK STILL DOES NOT RUN RIGHT, IT IS STILL CUTTING OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME ANYWHERE, EVEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I SPOKE WITH FORD AND ALL THEY DID WAS OPEN A CASE FILE BUT TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2014 AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH IT WAS THAT IT NEEDED THE ROTORS TURNED ON THE BRAKES WHICH WE HAVE DONE. THEN IT STARTED DOING THIS. WE HAVE HAD IT TOWED 6 TIMES IN ABOUT 2 MONTHS. 3 MECHANICS HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR THE TRUCK WITH NO LUCK. WE ARE TAPPED OUT TRYING TO FIX THIS TRUCK. I FEEL SURE THE GUY WHO SOLD IT TO US KNEW THE TRUCK WAS DOING THIS BUT OPTED NOT TO TELL US. ALSO I BLAME FORD FOR THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING, EVEN THEIR TECHNICIAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2004, FORD RELEASED A REDESIGNED BSI SOLENOID WITH A SHORTER PIN RETRACTING TIME AS A SERVICEABLE COMPONENT.
