I purchased a used Explorer Sport Trac from a dealership here in Arizona, now at the time there were ver very small marks in the clear coat. Well finally these small 'chiken scratches' have spread over the entire truck. The clear coating has cracked. When I took it to a shop they said it would cost a little more than $2500 dollars to undo the damage. But the man suggested I take it to Ford due to the extent of the cracking that no paintjob should do that.
Well I made an appointment and went down to the dealership I purchased it at. The Customer Service Rep was saying that Ford would not be liable since the truck has 71,000 miles on it. But the mechanic and Shop Foreman told me, that this Sport Trac has been repainted, and that that paintjob was NOT a Ford paintjob. They said -LOL- 'Whoever you bought this from did a crappy job repainting it, and whatever they used as a catalyst to harden the clear coating has made it crack'. When I told them I purchased it from their shop, Lawley Ford, they got quiet about the situation. They would not assist with this matter other than saying that the Arizona Ford Rep would have to look at the vehicle because the Ford dealership I bought the truck ago just a year ago who OBVIOUSLY repainted it for some unknown reason will not pay for their shitty mistake.
