My 2003 Ford Escape has peeling gold paint. It is coming off the lift gate, a place where it is unlikely to get stone chips.

It was built in Kansas City. Ford says no one else has complained about this issue, yet I see it on a number of posts.

The local body shop says it was a factory defect, yet "customer service" says only a Ford engineer can make that claim. So where's the Ford engineer? Bring him on!

We need to inundate Ford with the VIN numbers of their vehicles wtih peeling paint.

Are you with me?

Location: Montreal, Quebec

I also have a 2018 Ford Escape Titanium Platinum, it seems that it is chipping down to the paint in a lot of places. Paid extra for that paint job so would't think it would chip that easily, we have 7500 miles on it!

Guest

I have a white 2011 Ford Escape with the clear coat peeling on the front hood and both front fenders. The car has never been involved in an front-end accident. What is the best way to bring this to Ford's attention?

Guest

I have a 2018 Ford Mustang and already noticed some issues with the paint (red dots).

Guest

I have a 2009 F-150 supercrew and the paint is cracking and peeling off. Cant find any recalls on this problem.

Its happening to every door in the exact same spot (all 4). I think Ford needs to step up and recognize the problem and pay for the repairs

Guest

This weekend o found a big chuck of paint missing on my hood. When I first bought my car the dealership had to repaint my roof and I didn't think anything about it. But now I don't know what to do.

Guest

I've been in contact with a lawyer about a class action law suit about my paint peeling away from my ford escape 03'. Has anyone else had any success on this?

I have not as of yet been involve with any attorneys on this issue, however I would be interested in getting involved. I have a 2003 escape with the same problem and Ford will not do anything about it.

Also have a ford escape 2003 same problem.

Guest

2001 ford windstar, peeling paint in large sheets on hood, roof and rear lift. Multiple electrical issues.

Ford dealer documented that paint was a manufaturer defect but refuses to pay. I have purchased 2 vehicles since but never, never a Ford again.

Guest

have a 2009 Mustang,paint on leading edge of hood has blisterd and started to peel,Ford wants me to pay over $1,000.00 to have it fixed

Guest

Ford will not fix the peeling paint issues, you have to take them to small claims court. Go to facebook and search ford peeling paint. You will find the steps (in detail) on how to file and costs.

Guest

I have the same problem with my ford explorer 2004 XLT - big areas of paint just peeling off. like 10" sheets of it on the roof.

the car is white.

There is a service bulletin posted.

Ref No. 04-25-1 Issued Dec.

27. 2004 Called Aluminum Corrosion Service tip. Apparently They have known about this problem for quite a while and wont pay to fix it.

This might be my last ford ever and thats saying a lot. I've probably bought at least 6 or 7 over the last 10 years.
