Default Paint is just peeling off!!!

Brought it to a body shop and they said this process is called "delamination" and they suggested that I contact a local Ford dealer to complain about this peeling paint issue... =( I went to Ford and this guy gave me an estimate of 300 dollars to fix the spot... *sigh* what should I do??

Contact Ford directly, tell them that your paint is peeling off. Most newer cars are covered under a paint and body warranty, but this almost sounds like a manufacturing defect.

Sad to say but once its one day or one mile over warranty your on your own unless there was a recall for the problem, good luck.

Doesn't ford have a rust through warranty for like 10 years like most other american manufacturers? I would say that if the paint is already peeling that is a sure sign of the beginning stages of rust through. Hell once the paint is gone the metal is next... I'd personally call ford and pitch a fit if your local dealer doesn't want to touch it.

Have you tried taking it to a few different dealerships C? There are quite a few in the orlando area.
