While the lawsuits are ongoing, a judge made at least one decision in the case that looks to work in favor of the car manufacturer. A judge limited the scope of the Ford lawsuit regarding bubbling paintįord has been battling the legal actions brought by consumers frustrated by the faulty paint on their vehicles. According to the lawsuit, Ford told concerned owners to perform “sand and paint” repairs, which did nothing but hide the issue, CarBuzz reports. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are concerned not only about the peeling and blistering but also that the damaged paint job hurts the resale value of their vehicles. Though Ford vehicles come with a paint warranty, the warranty is not applicable in the cases at issue in the lawsuit because the coverage only pertains to “perforation.” The peeling aluminum panels in question in the lawsuit can’t perforate from corrosion, so the warranty excludes them. The Ford vehicles that have been most affected by this issue are the 2013 to 2018 Explorer, Expedition, and Mustang.
