1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2021

Have a 2017 Ford Escape and noticed the paint was peeling around the windshield. After investigating there are several complaints for the exact same thing. Ford will not take responsibility for this because it's safety issue,so they won't recall it. I have only had my car a year this month it seems also to happen to Ford Escapes that are white or blue in color. Paint on a vehicle should last for the life of the car.

Vehicle was stationary in my driveway when a snow storm hit. Ice/snow accumulated on the windshield and when it melted it took the paint with it.
