Clear coat is bubbling and peeling off. I have never had this happen to any vehicle I have owned. Definitely a defect which will cause rusting at some point. I emailed Ford and the told me: " I recommend that your vehicle be inspected by a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealership to determine the cause of any symptoms your vehicle may be experiencing. If there is no coverage under applicable warranties, recalls or ESP's, repairs and services would be your responsibility. I also suggest that you keep your repair receipts in case Ford initiates a recall or Customer Satisfaction Program in the future based on customer feedback or further engineering review of similar complaints."
I am calling different shops to price shop how much it would cost to have the vehicle re-painted and if I'm going to do that I might even change the color of it!!!
After only 2500 miles, the back bumper of the vehicle showed signs of paint chipping. Two areas of the bumper had nickel size pieces of paint that had come off. This is 1 of 3 complaints on this vehicle I am submitting with the vehicle having just over 15,000 miles to date.
