Mustang 2012 gt rust discovered on top and under hood this winter. Very server . It is going to cost 1500-2000 dollars to fix . No guaranty that this will fix problem ford is aware of this problem and has done nothing to correct it. Out of pocket money for a car that is covered, and garage kept. The car doesn't have a scratch or dent on it. This is very disappointing.

There is no reason for ford not to cover this repair/replacement of my hood. The paint is lifting off of the hood due to corrosion under the paint by manufacturer defect on the assembly line.

I went to the dealer's body shop to get an estimate on repair and was then told that the problem was due to problems with the aluminum/iron contamination during the car assembly and that a new paint job would only be a band-aid. Brought problem to dealer and was told they would document and send to ford for resolution ... 3 months later i contacted the dealer, and nothing had been done. On the 2nd visit, they…

After washing my car, i noticed that the paint around the front of the hood was bubbling. I took it to my dealer and they said that the hood is aluminum and the paint has been known to bubble and will eventually start to flake off. Ford has not done anything about it. The only way to fix it would be to replace the hood. This is happening all along the front edge of the hood at this time. My car has 44,000 miles on…

My car has had galvanic action on the hood twice in less then a year. No accident, but the paint bubbles and splits on the front edge of the hood in several places. An electric current apparently occurs between the aluminum hood and the steel bolts that connect it to the hood hinge mechanism. Ford has repainted the hood twice under warranty, but now say the problem wont be covered again. They have not solved the…

Front hood has paint peeling issue within 2 years of purchase. Auto trans doesn't shift properly in at least 1 of the first 3 gears. It bucks when cold in winter weather until car warms for at least 30 minutes.. Ford has had the car on 3 occasions without fixing the issue. They replaced the first 3 solenoids in trans without success. Purchased new. These 2 issues remain a big problem. On another note, interior cabin…
