2012 Ford Mustang body problems

The paint on the hood starting at the seam on the underside started bubbling like it was rusting underneath and has spread up & around on the top of the hood. The paint is now starting to crack and fall off. I have taken it to ford dealership collision center and to an independent collision center and both advised the hood needs to be replaced and painted. Both advised this is a known issue and appears to be some type of contamination that occurs when the seam is sealed. The quotes for this repair are for $3400 & $3300. While a 2012, our mustang has been kept under a cover and only has 24,000 miles on it.

Front hood has paint peeling issue within 2 years of purchase. Auto trans doesn't shift properly in at least 1 of the first 3 gears. It bucks when cold in winter weather until car warms for at least 30 minutes.. Ford has had the car on 3 occasions without fixing the issue. They replaced the first 3 solenoids in trans without success. Purchased new. These 2 issues remain a big problem. On another note, interior cabin flooded due to rain entering the cowl from a design flaw. Dealership detached a hose.

Takata my car has different manufacturing issues including the convertible roofing it does openly by itself, I got scared and chocked the first time it happened, also the transmission seemed to sent a lower speed to the motor. Airbag didn't explode in a crash. Driving is when it happens.

Paint is bubbling under hood caused by corrosion of the aluminum. Ford is aware but will not repair under the 60 month unlimited corrosion warranty.

On march 27, 2015, I brought my mustand to ford because I discovered on the hood of my car, that the paint was bubbling/coming apart from the hood. On april 7, 2015, the ford dealer repainted my hood. Then, I noticed again but this time, in more than one area of my hood that the paint was lifting off of the hood. I returned to the dealership and contacted ford motor company but they were reluctant to replace the hood or repaint at no cost. My major concern is that I brought the vehicle in during the "warranty period" as in the manual however, this problem was not corrected since it returned again.

Mustang 2012 gt rust discovered on top and under hood this winter. Very server . It is going to cost 1500-2000 dollars to fix . No guaranty that this will fix problem ford is aware of this problem and has done nothing to correct it. Out of pocket money for a car that is covered, and garage kept. The car doesn't have a scratch or dent on it. This is very disappointing.
