“I purchased the vehicle in october 2013, owning it for a couple of months I noticed where snow had started melting I could something grey and realized that the paint was peeling and I could see what I thought was primer or something I called the dealership bob boyd in lancaster, ohio since my car was still warranty with them which that got me know where. Then I called the ford customer line to see if there was a recall on the paint.”
NHTSA complaint #10701820, filed 2015-03, 78,000 miles“When I go to apply the brakes, if my foot is not on the brake pedal just right my foot ends up on the gas pedal and my car lunges forward. This has happened quit a few times since I owned this car. I feel the brake and gas pedals are too close together. I don't know if there have been any other complaints, but I feel it is a real problem and could cause me to wreck my car.”
NHTSA complaint #10261353, filed 2009-03, 24,442 miles“First the paint started pealing on driver side door. I thought it was tape because the window was broken, and I had to put plastic over the window until glass dealer could get window. Now the hood is peeling too. The color is silver metallic it was purchased brand new in massachusetts.”
NHTSA complaint #10394016, filed 2011-04, 37,000 miles“Paint cracked and lifted from 3 spots on front of roof, front fender and rear panel area below roof. In all three instances, the paint has separated from the body leaving area exposed to rust. Paint in question is palm beach edition birchwood silver. A number of experienced body painters report that this has been an ongoing problem peculiar to this color. Complaints to ford have been ignored.”
NHTSA complaint #10648325, filed 2014-10, 48,000 miles“The paint on my 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis started peeling off in march 2009, it is happening around the grill. This is clearly a paint defect, as stated by a local body shop. In order to repair, paint has to be grinded down to bare metal as paint primer did not bond with metal properly. Cost to repaint car is estimated at $300. This same problem was seen in earlier model ford and Mercury vehicles. It is cause by contamination on the aluminum parts before they are painted. A TSB was issued to fix this on the earlier vehicles.”
