RE: TSB for hood corrosion problem?

The warranty booklet says 5 year warranty on corrosion - no mileage limit. The dealership should fix it. Print out the TSB and take it. That's what I plan to do. Mine is also under the front center lip of the hood (Satin Silver) - about 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch.
Anyone had successful repair from Ford? How long did it take? Thanks.

Their discription of corrosion is they must be able to stick an ice pick through it as in rust through.

There should be bubbles in your paint on your hood. Mine was at the front lip area where the hood bends toward the bumper, but I have heard others say theirs was on the hood near the windshield. Look close to make sure you see it.

Hey. I printed the TSB on this and I was working at a Ford dealer at the time and they fixed it for me, it was over 5 years and out of warranty. I got it back in 2 days, new hood and paint. They did a great job matching the paint.

That's BS. It is a problem from the factory. I had mine fixed. they replaced the hood and painted it. No charge and it was out of warranty and over 5 years. Take it to another Ford dealer.
