I have a 2003 Ford Escape XLT,white in color and currently have a problem with the paint blistering and peeling on the rear hatch below the window both sides. Additionally, the paint peeling has started under passenger side rear cargo window. I visited a local Ford dealership and they denied it as a defect. Out of warranty. I have had four autobody shops tell me $600. 00 to a $1000. 00 to repaint. "the problem is factory primer problem" and should expect to see more peeling if not repainted soon.
Paint blistering and peeling above the windshield on roof.
My problem is not mechanical but rather "physical". The paint has been peeling off the roof and hatch of my 2003 ash-colored Ford Escape limited since 2007. After reading others' blogs I am aware that I am not alone by any means. I purchased the SUV for it's nice appearance and color. I wish I'd known beforehand that this was going to happen, otherwise I would never have purchased a Ford. Apparently Ford is doing absolutely nothing about the problem. Is there anything you can do to help us? can't Ford be forced into a recall for this? these vehicles aren't cheap!! please help.
