Consumer Description

THE PAINT IS BUBBLING ON THE HOOD AND IS FLAKING AWAY, I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ALTHOUGH THE PAINT IS WARRANTIED, THE METAL OF THE HOOD NEEDS TO BECOME PERFORATED BEFORE THEY WILL HONOR THE WARRANTY. THIS IS EVEN PUT IN FORD'S OWNER'S MANUAL AS SUCH. THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT YEARS, MAKES, AND MODELS WITH THE SAME DEFECT. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE PEOPLE BLOGGING ABOUT IT ON THE WEBSITE:HTTP://WWW.LEMONLAW.COM/WORDPRESS/MORE-PROBLEMS-FOR-FORD-PAINT-DEFECTS-IN-2000-2005-MODELS. ALSO, IN SOME NEW YEARS AS WELL. *TR
