I can not believe this 2018 Escape has the paint peeling off by drivers side windshield already. I have always driven Ford Vehicles, and never had problems like this. The car has around 36,000 miles and the other day I come out of grocery store and all the paint is peeling. I am so pissed. It is basically a new car. This is a big spot that is just flaking off. Guess I am going to have to see if it is covered under warranty and go through the hassle of not having a vehicle. Get it together FORD - I probably will never buy a Ford again, after this.

When I purchased the vehicle (Used) in March 2020 (right at the start of the Pandemic and social distancing began), the paint was fine - but within 5 months I began to notice all of these large CHUNKS of white paint just flaking off the right side of the drivers side vehicle. The vehicle, since I had owned it had only been hand washed and treated with TLC. I took it to the nearest Ford Dealership who exclaimed "We've never seen that happen" - which I had already searched the Internet and found 1000's of other Ford Escape complaints (90% happens with all white 2018 Ford Escape owners) - I found the Dealership to be full of it. They stated it was NOT covered under the Warranty still in place and perhaps I DID it to my own vehicle - infuriating!

Ray Seraphin Ford of Vernon, CT and Ford did a great job in helping me.
Although at the time I was also worried it would do it on the other side. Which it did start March,2021, on passenger side.

Bought it new from Valley Ford in Ohio.
2018 Ford Escape. It has 22 thousands miles on it. The paint peeling around then front window about 10" long , in 2 areas now. We have both extend warranties, but Ford will not cover it, and Valley Ford will not cover.
They said the paint should not be peeling off. We have a 2014 Ford Escape, there's no problem with the paint. I'm going to fill out a complaint today, with Attorney General's office.
