Consumer Description

10/1/09 NOTICED PAINT WAS BUBBLING UP AND PEELING OFF THE ROOF OF MY VEHICLE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR IT SINCE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. JUDGING BY WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET PLENTY OF FORD OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD MOTOR CO. REFUSES TO FIX IT. PAINT SHOULD NOT FAIL ON BRAND NEW VEHICLES AFTER FOUR YEARS. ONCE AGAIN THE CONSUMER GETS NO SATISFACTION. *TR
