4 Hood problem of the 2005 Ford Mustang

Failure Date: 04/10/2005

While driving a normal highway speeds the hood will shake. On winding days the hood will vibrate and twist violently. The hood latch and hinges are tight. Hood is made of thin aluminum and is to flimsy to tolerate the wind load. With time I believe hinges will loosen and the problem will worsen.

6 Hood problem of the 2002 Ford Mustang

Failure Date: 06/10/2004

Last summer I purchased a 2002 Mustang convertible. I noticed that one of the rock chips in the hood was starting to peel. I took the car to a local dealership for an estimate on fixing it. The body man looked up a TSB and printed it out for me. It was the bulletin on sheet metal primer. Seems the mfg used the same primer on the composite parts and as a result the paint is peeling off the entire hood. I contacted a Ford executive and was told that Ford would repaint my hood when it started to rust. My only question is. . . . . . . . When do composite parts rust? I might be female but even I know that when my hood rusts that means the end of the world is near. All I want is for Ford to stand behind what they make and fix the problem.
