2014 Focus rust....only 531 miles

[MadMaxCar]

2014 Focus....... 7 rust bubbles developed on the seam on the hatch and 1 blister has popped exposing bare metal. It is clearly a rust/corrosion issue but 2 guys at the ford dealership insist it is a simple paint issue. REALLY????? How does bad paint cause metal to blister? 3 diff body shops confirmed it is def rust/corrosion......with the tight spot this is in I can see how this can happen from the factory......s**t happens but don't tell me it's something that it's not. I told the service manager that perhaps we should wait a month then so we can watch the other 6 spots blister out and pop......then he said that warranty would not cover it........he even tried to say the paint was chipped where it's bare metal. They also wanted to take it to a body shop that I don't trust but they just approved my request for a different shop. ...... I will be taking pics when the 6 other blisters are opened up to further prove that there is a quality issue. I feel it would be cheaper to just replace the hatch and never have to worry about it again....lets hope this fix is permanent. 500 of those miles were from a 6.5 hour road trip.....bone dry roads. Car now only has 1000 miles on it. I have lots of pics but to big to upload here....will try via photobucket.

I had an issue with the paint on the hood with my 13 Focus. I love the car but am not happy with the paint quality.

Turned out the E coat was the issue. It did not adhere properly and caused it to drip. Moisture under the drip caused corrosion to start. All fixed...so much for the expert dealership moron telling me I had chipped the paint
