Seals in the turbos themselves letting go and causing owners to have low boost, some have reported sand blasting sand in the turbo which i don't think is a common problem although it has happened

I must have been blessed with the only corrosion free aluminum hood. Even with all the holes I've poked on it there's zero corrosion.

Mine seems to be OK but it never sees rain.....garage kept!!

Wonder how the all Aluminum F-150 bodies are holding up??

Wifes 2005 Mustang has hood corrosion. Rest of the car is great. Hood has cancer that is slowly spreading

Just noticed corrosion on my hood! SoCal car with only 43K miles on her! My super duper extended warranty does not cover! Dealer said talk to corporate...

When mine did it with less than 10k miles on it, it was still under warranty so Ford took care of it. I asked the dealer what could be done for future Mustangs, he said the only way is to replace the hood with an after market one. Looks like Ford should make some hood replacements for all of us or at least give us a good deal!

My question is why can't they paint aluminum right??

I have a 13 year old aluminum boat made in Australia that I use in Salt Water exclusively and the paint is FINE!!

It is the reaction between two dissimilar metals making contact. Aluminum hood in contact through the hinges and the hood latch.

At the very least you found an honest dealer

I would believe that if the corrosion was in the area of dissimilar metals contact but generally the corrosion is under the front lip near a seam of some kind!!

I suspect the hood was not prepped and washed well enough in that area!!
