Paint defect: bubbling and peeling. Paint applied without applying primer to adhere paint. The 2005 lx model was purchased in 2006. The vehicle stands currently at 71,000 miles. Structure paint begins to bubble and peel off. Vehicle has never been involved in any accidents and neither has it incurred any structural damages. Approximately 6 months ago there was a notice paint missing, the shape was round and dime size on the hood and roof of the vehicle. Further investigation indicated that the paint held no primer underneath it to adhere paint to the structure of the vehicle. When the vehicle was put on a freeway up to posted speeds of 65 mph, the dime size round areas begin to shed more paint. This seems to be a factory blemish that needs to be addressed. I have repainted the hood, and further investigation hints that the entire car has had paint to bare metal applied without the use of primers to secure any paint that may have been applied. I have receipts that indicate findings to be true.
Paint is bubbling and flaking off. Ford says not their responsibility, areas are from the size of a 1/8inch to a area 6 inches in somewhat of a circle. . . Since paint blew off and looks so bad I have tried a fix but paint does not want to adhere. . . . I see a TSB on this but Ford says it is not for my particular vehicle> wonder why TSB is about paint bubbling, but does not say a certain serial number. . .
