Default Paint peeling off car

Anyone else have paint coming off the car in the space between the rear quarter panel and the back glass. I have it on both sides of my car. Its where the water is supposed to drain down into the trunk....the indented line thing.

I don't have any paint problems there, but I do all on the edge of my hood around where the latch is. It's very annoying and apparently a known problem. Paint corrosion, pretty sure Ford won't fix it either from what I've read.

I had something similar. Just above my driver side wheel well and on my back bumper in the middle. It looked like the clearcoat was "Bubbling" off the paint. Since I was under warranty, they repaired it at no cost to me.

I did too but while my car was still under warranty, I had Ford fix it.
Unfortunately if you are out of warranty now, they will fix it but at your cost.

I just noticed bubbling on the front of my hood while washing it this past weekend. It's under warranty so hopefully they'll fix it at no cost to me. Here's my question though....I've got 2 vinyl rally stripes going down it. Should I be expecting them to put those back on?

I to have the Black car with the paint flaking off in the indentions on both sides of the rear glass, all the way down on the drivers side. Friend of mine is a body man, says the easiest/quickest fix is to fold some 800-1000 grit sandpaper run it all along the indentions to remove loose paint, then Ford UA Black touch up paint and a decent brush to cover the primer. Brush strokes will not be visable to anybody but you. I am trying it this weekend because I am scared the paint will flake so much it will start being VERY NOTICABLE.
