While driving at 45 mph the hood separated and flew over the top of the car. Into traffic almost causing a accident. The top panel flew off while the hood remained latched to the car.
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.
