Blistering of the paint and peeling of the paint all along the lip of the aluminum hood.
The entire front of the hood has paint that is bubbling up and at certain points the paint has chipped off to reveal corrosion and what looks like rust.
I purchased a used 2007 Ford Mustang shelby gt with 15k miles. There were 3 spots on the hood where paint had bubbled. A local body shop said the problem was that steel rivets had been used to secure the hood pin disks to the hood and one spot at the air scoop; aluminum rivets should have been used.
I'm the owner of a 2007 Ford Mustang. I started noticing paint bubbles along the front edge and underside of the hood. I come to find out that this a common problem not only for similar model year Mustangs, but for other Ford vehicles as well. Evidence suggests that Ford is aware of this problem and continues to do nothing about. I've been told that the only way to fix the situation is to replace the hood and that I would need to cover the cost. Furthermore, even after a new hood was installed, this issue would probably occur again. Very frustrating.
Paint is peeling off the hood of my 2007 Ford Mustang. I noticed the 06-07 Mustangs have a similar problem and was told by the dealer it is because they have an aluminum hood. These cars should be recalled, and the hood should be painted for free because paint should last longer than three years.
