Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED A BUBBLING OR BLISTERING UNDER THE PAINT ON ALUMINUM BODY PARTS (HOOD). IT WAS STATED ON FORD'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS TSB 04-25-1, TSB # 06-25-15, AND THE LATEST TSB 16-0028 THAT THIS WAS DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM PANEL. FORD'S WARRANTY SHOWS TO BE 5YR/UNLIMITED MILEAGE. FOR NOT WANTING TO WARRANTY CORROSION ISSUE. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE ON THANKSGIVING 11/22/18, BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CORRODING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME.
