I wonder if there any lawyers here on the forums that could tell us what we need to do? I know if the TSB was an issue regarding safety, it wouldn't be to hard to get them to comply but because it's a cosmetic issue, it may be difficult. I'd hate to blab to the news media about it as it would hurt our Mustang's good name.

Great. I have some bubbling on the OUTSIDE of the hood. It just showed up out of the blue. 43k on the clock. Why the hell did I ever fall in love with these damned cars! Dear Ford, what exactly is it that you do well? Surely it's not building cars that don't leak or shed paint jobs within 3 years. What a damned nightmare.

Well, after a couple weeks, my service manager got an OK from Ford to replace my alum engine hood with the bubbling paint. The car is a year past end of 36 month warranty. The dealer's price for the hood replacement work was $2400, but discounted to about $2200. Ford agrees to reimburse dealer $1400, so I had to pay the $800 balance. The new primered hood was painted by the dealer's shop to match paint on September 18.

Thanks, Deysha. The last time I owned a Ford (not a good one) was 1975. In 2010, after owning lots of German and Japanese and GM cars, I thought I'd give Ford a try again. Another bad experience. Gonna see if Chrysler can cut it.
