I have a new 2022 Expedition Limited. Has 750 miles on it, has only been in my driveway for a month. I opened the tailgate yesterday (in -30 degree wind chill) and the lift gate spoiler cracked in half, the brake light is hanging off above the rear windshield, and the roof panel punctured and has a hole in it right where it meets the spoiler. I heard the cracking and popping as the lift gate opened, but I never thought the damage would be as bad as it is. Has anyone had issues with body work cracking and breaking in the cold? Will the dealership cover this or am I going to have to go through insurance? Needless to say, I’m very disappointed in the quality here and can’t believe the cold could do that much damage to a brand new $80k car. Have owned many expeditions over the years in this climate, and have never had this issue.
