I recently noticed my car had a strange paint issue. After taking it to the dealer, Ford Motor Co. authorized a complete re-paint of my car as it is missing paint in parts on pretty much every edge of the car. Has anyone dealt with this before?
The dealer advised every piece will need to be taken off and the car sanded/resprayed entirely. It will take weeks they said.
I requested a swap/buyback from FMC, but my claim was denied.
I ordered this car specifically so I could keep the paint as clean as possible. I also can't stand rattles, so I am thrilled they are going to disassemble my car and put it back together.
Can anyone share a similar experience and how it turned out for you? Would I have any sort of claim for loss of value due to my brand new car being taken apart and re-painted? I called some lawyers but am having trouble finding one that deals with cases before the work/lemon law has come into effect. Still looking into this, but I have initiated the process to get my car into the paint shop as it looks like that is my only choice.
