Defective paint job. Paint is bubbling off of truck just when being sprayed with garden hose. Local Ford dealer claims that it is not Ford's problem. Cost is customer's responsibility.
Paint is peeling off the roof of my truck. I wrote a letter to Ford and they will not fix this even though they know this is a common problem with many of there vehicles.
Paint peeling off on body. White in color,never neglected, always washed, waxed etc. Well known and documented problem. Contacted Ford many times and always get told they will do nothing because it is out of warranty. They then told me they have upgraded many things on their new trucks and should consider getting a new one. I doubt I will ever get another Ford if they can mess up something as simple as paint. This is a Ford defect and they should be forced to fix it. I have a car that is 10 years older than my Ford and the paint looks better.
