Chrome on interior door handles bubbling/peeling

[brandonsmash]

Build date of 7/15 on my car, 2,400 miles.

The interior driver's door handle already looks like this (I apologize for the poor photos):

So. . . dealer? I'd rather not just let this one be, as once that bubble is worn or cracks then the chrome will peel off the entire assembly in pretty short order.

Dealer brotha, defect.

I may just call the dealer and say, "Hey, the interior buzzes and rattles, the hood's misaligned, the chrome is peeling. . . fix it all."

very well could, that's what you've got a warranty for. Just be sure you trust your dealership, as there's a lot of less than adequate dealers out there it seems with unsatisfactory technicians.

When I bought my Mustang I shopped around. I didn't get the color I wanted, but I did get a price I couldn't beat anywhere else. Other dealers promised a lot but, as it turns out, they simply lied to me to get me in the door.

The dealer where I bought my car wasn't my favorite in terms of friendliness, but they were 100% honest with me throughout the process.

I just scheduled warranty service through them.

Annoyingly I have to figure out transportation now, though, as they don't provide loaners for vehicles in for warranty work (wtf?).

Ford doesn't provide courtesy vehicles unfortunately, its up to the individual dealerships discretion. However, I'd 'remind them' that you purchased the vehicle them and want to continue to use them for all of your service and parts needs, and I bet they could 'figure out' a way to get you a car.

Ford has been paying for my rental car every time I bring it in for the driveshaft problem. 5 times now... Maybe since it is a major problem that was there since day 1.
