bigjock Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Howdy fellas it's been a while however I'm back with a new issue! Was washing the car this morning when I noticed the lacquer was flaking off at several different areas on the bonnet! The car is approaching 2 so the paint warranty is well gone but just wondered if anyone else has had this problem/resolved it?! Bit concerning really, I reckon I could easily strip the entire layer of lacquer now that it's started to peel. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hiya bigjock. Run out or not that is disgusting for such a young car. 2 years old. geeze If that was my car i would be inclined to start proceedings by firstly telephoning ford customer relations. My G/F's First car a 1990 1.1 Fiesta LX in Mercury Grey metallic was not flaking or peeling at 15 years old. I have never had a Fiesta that has had paint that bad and iam on my 5th. Maybe a piccy so we can see the poor cars skin. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordpartsman Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 the paint and body warranty is either 6 or 10 years iirc, read your service book, its in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjock Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 corrosion is 6 to 12 years paint is only 1! i guess if there's to be a manufacturing fault it should normally show within the first year. alas it appears i have been unlucky but i tell thee there's no way I'll be paying for it's repair thats for sure ;) !Removed! fords when will i learn!
