dealer and Ford refused to repaint it, I did the smart thing
and swore I would never buy another Ford. And thatsâ?? just
what I did, My wife now drives a 2003 Subaru, I still have
the mistake, and I make sure everyone sees the great Ford
paint job and I tell them about all the parts I have
replaced on my quality job one car.
Oh, and before everyone starts to scream about buying
American, I have been doing that long before it was popular.
I even stuck with Fords through the 70â??s (the cars were
really bad back then).
All ford had to do was make me an offer to cover part of the
costs of the repair and I probably would have considered
buying another Ford.
Now, after having the Subaru for three months and not
finding one defect I wish I had switched long ago. My Myst
was back to the dealer five times in the first three months.
But back to your paint problem. Unless Bill Ford himself
decides to do the right thing, you are stuck with the bad
paint.
have you fixed your ford lately?

but doesn't some of that "profit" go to pay the wages of the Americans working in the US plant?
zeon: what year and how many miles? although my car was only a couple of weeks old when i noticed a few cracks in my hood only, they repainted it with no questions asked.
