while washing my new 09 escape i found some bare metal spots inside the rear hatch door that has no paint on it ! open the rear door hatch and inspect all the corners and make sure they are fully covered with paint :doh: .

Heck, that's scarey!

Thanks for the heads up.

:shock: :shock: Bloody heck! Someone at the car factory needs their butt kicked.

Wow, that's a shame. If you bought the highest extended service agreement, it might take care of it for you.

I notice a little bit of problem on mine in these areas as well, although I think it is just exposed primer and not bare sheet metal. I'm still having the dealer fix it next week anyway. While looking for this kind of thing, I also noticed that some of my doors have slight gaps in the lower front corners where the sheet metal is bent inwards on itself, thinking that I will have them fix that as well, maybe just use some sealant to close the gap so that water isn't pooling there.

i noticed those spots today as well!! Off to the dealer to get them fixed under warranty hopefully! :beer:

i'm glad this helped some.....

 

[andjayik]

got to take mine in for the rear hatch 4 corners as well and i think the hood?

Good info. I'll check mine today. How are they fixing this? Touch-up paint?

 

[andjayik]

yep touch up

 

[kkreit01]

Thanks! In that case, it'd be much simpler for me to do it myself.

Good find. Only a couple weeks left on our 3 yr/60k warranty so I checked my. Fully painted.
