Clear coat finish on trunk panel began peeling when car 3 1/2 years old. Aluminum hood corrosion at almost 5 years old paint is bubbling at the front edge of aluminum hood. Apparently when being painted the aluminum hood was contaminated with steel particles which Ford knew at the time of manufacture would cause corrosion and paint peeling but did nothing to try to correct the metal contamination when vehicles were painted so now at 24,800 miles the hood is corroding and paint is bubbling and peeling. I paid alot of money for this car Mustang v6 pony package and to have to deal with hood corrosion and peeling paint on this car is ridiculous and shameful that Ford will not cover this damage. I have bought Ford vehicles my whole life but I will never ever buy a Ford vehicle again.
Hood paint corrosion. Like a large amount of other people, my hood paint is bubbling with 87k miles on my car. I maintain my car very well and is in very good shape. I contacted Ford and I was told it would be submitted to their claims department and I have no heard back. It's been serval months. Ford knows about the issue but won't cover their manufacturing mess up.
Major corrosion issue on all aluminum hoods 2004 to 2015. Mine is a 2013 and it looks like rust under the paint but its corrosion that Ford refuses to cover under bumper to bumper warrantee.
