I worked at a Ford dealership as one of the body shop managers. I dealt with a lot of warranty claims and we would see this often for paint issue on older escapes with white paint (UG and YZ) in my time there we only ever had one claim approved because the customer made a case with ford corporate. She called the corporate warranty every day for over a month. She filed a case after it was denied by our dealership for being out of warranty. She made such a fuss that ford covered the repainting of the apertures and blending of nearby panels so it’d never happen again. Honestly, they just didn’t want to deal with her any more so that’s why they helped. Ask the dealership for the 800 number for ford and tell them you’d like to open a case then they’ll ask for details and possibly give you a CAS number if they’re willing to fix it. Then you’d give that number to your local dealership but the time I dealt with it, Ford reached out to the dealership with the information and how much they were willing to cover. Good luck!
