PAINT PEELING OFF UNDER FRONT OF HOOD AND UNDER REAR LIFT GATE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR FORD, I AM FINDING OUT. IT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A DECADE. THE PAINT FLAKES OFF ON ANY ALUMINUM BODY PANELS THAT HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH IRON. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT FREE OF CHARGE. I ALSO CALLED FORD DIRECTLY TO COMPLAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THE PAINT SINCE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. *TR
