Default crappy ford paint

I went to get in the trunk today and saw that the paint around the rear window is comming off. Bubbling up on both sides and flaking off down to the sealer. Now I have to deal with the stealership. I can fix it myself but I shouldn't have too. Anyone eles with this problem?

I have "drips" that solidified just above the back of my passenger side rocker panel. I have razor sharp edges that were not sanded down along the outside of the trunk lid. I have an area near the bottom of the passenger door where there's no clearcoat present at all...the paint feels a little rough to the touch like fine sandpaper.

Not noticeable on my car at all though.

really? thats strange, Ford paint quality was supposed to be improving. I've got an 08 focus ses and the paint on it is fantastic.

The paint on my driver's side door handle is peeling and is completely gone in some places. Guess I'll have to deal with the stealership too.

Not just domestics, foreign cars have paint problems too. My wifes new $42000. Honda Odyssey had to have the drivers quarter repainted because when it was built they didn't spray part of the quarter panel, it was gray but there was no metallic in it. So much for Honda quality, I will take an American car anyday.
