F-150 XLT Sport 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 22,000 miles

Warranty does not cover the paint issue and a lawsuit I read has been established, but I have not read any new developments from it. The car is under 5 years old and I purchased it brand new. I washed and waxed the vehicle once a week and this issue should not happen. Peeling on the roof and tailgate.

paint is chipping/peeling paint is chipping/peeling

2017 F150 with 35700 miles. While washing the truck the paint started to peel off from the upper right hand side of the tailgate, Very annoying! I took it down to the local FORD dealer, Big Valley FORD in Stockton, where I bought the vehicle. They said they would look into the issue. Did not hear back from them, so I had to call them. All they said was, FORD would not cover the paint peeling. They did not offer any other solutions - just nothing they could do?

I called the FORD costumer line and they pretty much said because the trucks bumper to bumper is out of Warranty the only thing is to get an estimate at a FORD Dealer and there might be financial assistance? I was not giving that option at the Dealer? I would think paint should not just peel off if it was painted correctly? Not really sure where to go from here? I guess I could find another dealer to take it to OR just find a good auto body shop and have it fixed.

F-150 XLT 5.0L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,500 miles

In driving back from Florida vacation, with only 3500 miles on the truck,the front hood has chips to bare metal in 3 places, 1 place above gas fill and 3 spots on drive door. The paint is entirely too soft, and when I hand waxed it last week, now the color is coming off. Dealer has been made aware twice.

F-150 Raptor V6 Ecoboost

  • Automatic transmission
  • 300 miles

Waited 6 months for my 2017 raptor (Ordered in August 2016, took delivery on Feb 8 2017. upon waxing the truck for the first time approx 3 days after I took delivery I saw 3 chips in the paint down to the metal and a small dent (front center of the roof). Also found 8 missing bolts on both rear wheel wells that looks like it holds the flared out fenders to the body of the truck. Dealership is addressing these issues but I am pretty disappointed.. Truck went to the body shop March 1st, still waiting to get the truck back as of this writing, March 4th)
