“I have this bubbling/ peeling of paint on the hood right where the hood starts to wrap under in the front of the car towards the engine. There's a TSB out on this but why should Ford owners pay for fords mistake and I also seen a lot of forums with others having the same problem.”

“Although car is 7 years old, mileage was only 18000+ when alternator needed replacing - $620. Out of warranty so no help from Ford or dealer.

Dealer also unable to cure boxcar-like ride.”
