Ford vehicles---peeling paint?
Have any of you seen this problem? I know there are a lot of Ford tow vehicles out there.
I've been reading around the innerwebs while researching tow vehicles. One big issue that I keep reading about is peeling paint on aluminum components of Ford vehicles. Apparently this is happening on many models over several years, even those that are otherwise in pristine conditions.
The problem is alleged to be (by some) that the aluminum components are contaminated with iron. I'm a little skeptical about that, because apparently the primer coat stays adhered, but the color layer bubbles, and peels away from the primer coat. There are many photos that clearly show what happens.
Apparently Ford is not responsive to complaints, which are often shortly after the bumper-to-bumper warranty is up.
Just interested in input from some folks who don't have a particular ax to grind.
