Paint problems of the 2012 Ford Mustang

Paint corrosion and bubbling on front hood of car as with TSB 17-0062.

Paint is bubbling under hood caused by corrosion of the aluminum. Ford is aware but will not repair under the 60 month unlimited corrosion warranty.

There is no reason for Ford not to cover this repair/replacement of my hood. The paint is lifting off of the hood due to corrosion under the paint by manufacturer defect on the assembly line.

The paint is blistering on the hood. There is no damage. This is a known problem. Ford has issued as service bulletin affecting a number of models and years. A class action law suit has been filed.

On March 27, 2015, I brought my mustand to Ford because I discovered on the hood of my car, that the paint was bubbling/coming apart from the hood. On April 7, 2015, the Ford dealer repainted my hood. Then, I noticed again but this time, in more than one area of my hood that the paint was lifting off of the hood. I returned to the dealership and contacted Ford motor company but they were reluctant to replace the hood or repaint at no cost. My major concern is that I brought the vehicle in during the "warranty period" as in the manual however, this problem was not corrected since it returned again.

The paint is lifting off of the hood due to corrosion under the paint by manufacturer defect.

After washing my car, I noticed that the paint around the front of the hood was bubbling. I took it to my dealer and they said that the hood is aluminum and the paint has been known to bubble and will eventually start to flake off. Ford has not done anything about it. The only way to fix it would be to replace the hood. This is happening all along the front edge of the hood at this time. My car has 44,000 miles on it, is not driven in the winter and garaged almost every night. It reminds me of the 1989 Mustang I had that Ford ended up having to repaint because of the bad primer. Please make Ford offer a recall on this. After checking their warranty guide, it states that "your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an extended corrosion coverage period, which lasts for five years, regardless of miles driven. The extended warranty coverage only applies if a body sheet metal panel becomes perforated due to corrosion during normal use due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. " my dealer said their has to be a hole in the hood in order for Ford to do anything about it.

Noticed while washing my car that the paint on my 2012 Mustang was blistered on the hood . Searched the internet to see if there was a recall or other people that experienced the same thing and to my dismay found that there is an issue with paint blistering and aluminum corrosion on the Mustangs. I have 45,000 miles on my car and have surpassed the bumper to bumper warranty. I talked to a local dealer and asked if this is considered under the corrosion warranty and he said the car has to be eaten clear through before they consider under that part of the warranty. Understand that there was a technical service bulletin that Ford sent to their dealers detailing the aluminum corrosion & paint blistering problem and how to service it. Ford needs to step up to the plate and take care of their customers.

My car has had galvanic action on the hood twice in less then a year. No accident, but the paint bubbles and splits on the front edge of the hood in several places. An electric current apparently occurs between the aluminum hood and the steel bolts that connect it to the hood hinge mechanism. Ford has repainted the hood twice under warranty, but now say the problem wont be covered again. They have not solved the problem. As you may know, his problem is currently being deposed for a class action lawsuit for cars up to 2006. Please consider forcing Ford to recall all vehicles (mine is a 2011) affected by this problem.

Front hood has paint peeling issue within 2 years of purchase. Auto trans doesn't shift properly in at least 1 of the first 3 gears. It bucks when cold in winter weather until car warms for at least 30 minutes. . Ford has had the car on 3 occasions without fixing the issue. They replaced the first 3 solenoids in trans without success. Purchased new. These 2 issues remain a big problem. On another note, interior cabin flooded due to rain entering the cowl from a design flaw. Dealership detached a hose.
