I purchased a 2015 ford explorer new which Also had a ding in the door and was rd they couldn’t fix it as it would show up worse after the repair. I have the rust issue on my hood and was told by food that this is not covered under my extended warranty. I have rust coming out on the bottom of my doors too. Any ideas on the rust issue before I pay to have a new hood put on by someone that can do the job right! ---

My only thought is to discuss the doors with the body shop when you go for the estimate on the hood. ---

Your Explorer has/had a 5yr. unlimited mileage corrosion _perforation_ warranty. If it’s less than 5 years old and rust is coming through the doors you _might_ have a case. In that event, there’s a number for Ford corporate in your Owner’s Manual. Your extended warranty is probably powertrain only.
