Default Paint Issues

The front of my car looks like CRAP. I have 22k on my car and i drive 3 miles to work each day never going over 45 mph. It looks like i drive on the highway all the time following a gravel truck!!! i am thinking of calling Ford and seeing if my warrenty will cover this. Anyone else ever have this type of issue?

If your paint is chipped up from stones they won`t do anything for you.

This looks more like every bug makes a pothole in the paint.

I don't get it myself. My 04 V6 didn't have so much as a single blemish on the front bumper for 45,000 miles. I bought my GT with 52,000 on it and it looks damn near like a golf ball.

And no, your warranty wont't cover it. Sorry....[:@]

That sucks. If it was peeling then they would cover it under the 3 year 36K mile warranty if you still have warranty.

I use to work for Ford... selling cars. The only thing in the warranty that covers paint is the rust one. If it starts rusting through - then your covered for 5/60k I think? But things like that, you're not covered under. Sorry man.

Same thing happened to my car, looked like hell. Never had this problem with my 96 GT, they must have switched to a cheaper paint or something, it's rediculous. I had to have the front end repainted, and it is already happening again.
