Description of the problem | 2015 ford expedition with 20,000 miles has galvanic corrosion on aluminum hood and aluminum rear hatch door and roof weld cracks. Ford has known about this problem since the year 2000 noted in tsb 16-0028. Dealers are aware, but do not disclose manufacturing defect prior to sale, which is fraud. Not properly separating the outer aluminum from the steel inside causes extreme corrosion. This leads to hood and door latch metal failing with hoods or doors opening during driving causing accidents or death. |
