Christian Rutherford Posted November 7, 2014 at 09:51 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 at 09:51 PM I noticed today while waxing my FFET that the paint on the rear bumper where it meets the rear fender is peeling/flaking off on both sides in the same spot. Has anybody else noticed this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric4539 Posted November 7, 2014 at 11:59 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 at 11:59 PM Wow, that is ugly. I just checked my car and all is well at the joint between bumper and body. Let us know what your dealer says about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybridbear Posted November 10, 2014 at 04:19 PM Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 at 04:19 PM On our white car you can see some spots where the gasket between the body panels sticks out a little, no paint issues. One FFH owner had paint peeling in (I think) the exact same spot on his car. The dealer repaired it under warranty. His paint defect there was present at delivery. He said it was due to bolts being overtightened at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLap Posted December 19, 2014 at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 at 10:02 PM Wow that IS noticeable. Dilemma is going to be do you have them repaint the entire bumper fascia or can they touch it up? Sometimes when parts of a car are repainted they fade at different rates than the factory paint and become noticeable after a few years...sorry for you and good luck. How about finding a new FFE on the lot same color and having your dealer swap the bumper fascia, never mind, I'm sure they wouldn't do that. I purchased a new 2011 Lincoln MKX in tuxedo black and the wash guy smacked the front passenger side into a pole as he was bringing it up for me to drive away! It was the only black with Canyon interior in SoCal and I was not a happy camper. They offered to repaint, I said no I want a new front clip, grill, lower fog light, etc from another on the lot and they did it. Go rent the same car/color and then well ;) Just kidding...really!!
