If you do a search on paint defects you should get all the data you need. To sum things up,
Most of the dark color tours and mysts built in the KC plant have spider cracks on the hood and other places where it gets hot. IT IS NOT AND NEAVER CAN BE BLAMED ON ACID RAIN UFOS OR DRIVING HABITS. It happens because the paint is applied too thick (A FACTOR DEFECT) and thick paint can??t flex with the changes in temperature. So it cracks, or in paint shop terms ??checks?. Some people have been able to get parts of their cars repainted (if under 3-36k warrantee) but most have been handed the Acid rain line and sent on their way.
Class Action?. Forget about it, Ford lives for that. I tried it. All I do now is show everyone the great Quality Job One paint job, smile, and point to my wife??s shinny new Subaru (it could have been a Ford for want of a little paint).
