2013 Ford Mustang Structure

HOOD PAINT CORROSION. LIKE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER PEOPLE, MY HOOD PAINT IS BUBBLING WITH 87K MILES ON MY CAR. I MAINTAIN MY CAR VERY WELL AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. I CONTACTED FORD AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE SUBMITTED TO THEIR CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE NO HEARD BACK. IT'S BEEN SERVAL MONTHS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT WON'T COVER THEIR MANUFACTURING MESS UP.

CLEAR COAT FINISH ON TRUNK PANEL BEGAN PEELING WHEN CAR 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. ALUMINUM HOOD CORROSION AT ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD PAINT IS BUBBLING AT THE FRONT EDGE OF ALUMINUM HOOD. APPARENTLY WHEN BEING PAINTED THE ALUMINUM HOOD WAS CONTAMINATED WITH STEEL PARTICLES WHICH FORD KNEW AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE WOULD CAUSE CORROSION AND PAINT PEELING BUT DID NOTHING TO TRY TO CORRECT THE METAL CONTAMINATION WHEN VEHICLES WERE PAINTED SO NOW AT 24,800 MILES THE HOOD IS CORRODING AND PAINT IS BUBBLING AND PEELING. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR MUSTANG V6 PONY PACKAGE AND TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH HOOD CORROSION AND PEELING PAINT ON THIS CAR IS RIDICULOUS AND SHAMEFUL THAT FORD WILL NOT COVER THIS DAMAGE. I HAVE BOUGHT FORD VEHICLES MY WHOLE LIFE BUT I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN.

MAJOR CORROSION ISSUE ON ALL ALUMINUM HOODS 2004 TO 2015. MINE IS A 2013 AND IT LOOKS LIKE RUST UNDER THE PAINT BUT ITS CORROSION THAT FORD REFUSES TO COVER UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTEE.

I NOTICED RUST BUBBLES ON THE EDGE ON MY HOOD WHILE I WAS WAXING AND SEE THAT IT A ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD BE FIXING. I ONLY HAVE 25000 MILES ON MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY ONE DAY AND AS I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS GOING OVER 60MPH MY HOOD BEGAN TO SHAKE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND THIS STARTED DOING THIS OUT OF THE BLUE. I PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE ALL THE SCREWS WERE INTACT AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH MY CAR WAS INTACT AS WELL. I DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. MY HOOD SHAKES ANYTIME I GO OVER 60MPH, AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 MONTHS NOW. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A BODY SHOP AND THEY TEST DROVE AND WAS UNSURE OF THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS. HOOD SHAKES (VIBRATES) WHEN I DRIVE OVER 60MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WOULD NOT FULLY RETRACT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VISION WAS BLOCKED TRAVELING IN REVERSE AND WHEN CHANGING LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE PHOTOS OF THE FAILURE WERE TAKEN AND SENT TO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS AN INFLUX OF VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT WERE EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,900. ...UPDATED 05/29/13 *BF
