I am a 38 year veteran car salesman. Now I'm retired and in the four decades I was in sales and sales management, if I learned anything, it was this. Trying to get a manufacture to back up a paint issue is like trying to put butter up a tiger's ass with a hot knife. It's not going to happen. And thats unfortunate because Ford is a good company. They make excellent cars and trucks. But like all company's they make an occasional mistake. Like the one they made when they painted my 2004 Mustang GT.

Always dreamed of that little red hot rod I could get older with. And roll out on weekends and surprise all the youngsters. But never imagined I would have to put a complete paint job on a car that was maintained so well. If it were just one or two cars with this problem, that would be it is what it is. But every Mustang owner I know in this year has the same issue with peeling clear coat and degrading paint. Ford should step up and show what kind of company they are. And repaint these cars.

I bought this special 40th Anniv Edition of Mustang Gt with only 12 miles on it. Approx 1 year ago, I noticed clear coat peeling on rear spoiler. It has since started peeling on the truck, also. Paint jobs are expensive and I don't want this car looking like CRAP! It is interesting to note that many others are experiencing the same problem. This was a very expensive car and I think to maintain the future value in their anniv edition, Ford should recall and repaint at no extra expense. Please help my once beautiful car. She has only 71,000 original miles and is in great condition having never been wrecked, and no repairs!

I bought my My 2004 Mustang 2 years ago and the paint on the hood is peeling. As much money as I have paid for this you would think the paint would at least stay on until I have finished paying the car off. I think Ford should act like the men they think they are and allow a recall and repair the paint on the hoods of our cars. It was their people the did the crappy work. What does it take for Ford to admit there is a problem and do something about it?

FORD unstead of Found On Road Dead I would have to say Found On Road Looking like Crap.

Having clear coat peeling and paint coming off my mustang. Bought off dealer lot!!! Had It detailed by a excellent detail er that 3 different big auto dealers use to try and get everything buffed out, everything stood out worse. So I took it to a Ford dealer and was first told it was my fault because someone probably hit me from behind in a parking lot shattering my clear coat, that sent me fuming. There is no evidence of my bumper being hit. So I took it to a body shop. They told me that because the clear coat was peeling so bad on the hood, side and rear of the car the only way to fix it is to sand it down and repaint, because not only is the peeling happening but bubbling and this sand grit feel is going on.

I then when to the original Dealer I bought it from, their body guy agreed that yes it does need to be repainted but wouldn't say if it was factory related. I then asked the sales department to get the district manager on the line, explained the situation and am suppose to be getting a phone call back.

Is their anyone else with a 04 or 05 mustang having this problem????
