Many people have issues with their paint on the front end of the Ford Focus ST 2013+. This includes chips down to the bare metal, chips in clear coat and scratches along the hood and bumper of the vehicles. It happens to every color however Ford will not cover it under the warranty causing owners to go to 3rd party shops and pay to have the proper work done.


Signing this petition you agree, you've had this issue and it needs to be addressed and covered under the warranty by Ford.

The photos of your peeling paint are flooding my inbox. Ford needs to acknowledge these manufacturing defects immediately.

Some paint defects. but the thin paint and clearcoat is unacceptable. I like the performance of my 2015 ST, but if Ford does not respond to this I will never by another one again. sad part too is my wife's 2015 focus is doing it to and she does not drive highway.

severe paint issues including a chip on the hood on the corner behind the head light that could not have been caused by a stone. these issues need to be resolved.

Even with paint protection film I have plenty of chips. The paint is horrible on these cars.

2013 TS ST3 with dirt in the paint so the dealer fixed the issue areas. It doesn't fix the thin paint problem. I too have chips even with the extra coat that comes with the TS.

Car has 22k miles, and has literally hundreds of blemishes, and about 20-40 chips. Especially on the front of the car. Hood/bumper/fenders
