my car is less than 2 years old with 17k on the odometer. a 1"x2" portion of clear coat near the driver's side front fenderwell is cracked, with some of it having come off already. there is no dent in the metal, no scratches, and no specific directional "pattern"; in my estimation, it is a case of a faulty clear coat.

however, while some of you have been able to have your cars repainted under the paint warranty, i have not been so lucky with my dealership, as they declined the job. on the same day, a '00 model year Focus owner with paint peeling off of the roof, was also declined.

so i am curious to know who here has gotten their car repainted under warranty, and for what kind of paint damage did Ford actually warranty?

with the service department, it is an uphill battle . .
