At about 37000 miles Dealer Fixed the corrosion [ ZITS} and it look great. Kept trying to sell me a hood stone deflector to cover that hood front lip.
Then at about 49,000 miles about one year later, the ZITS reappeared in nearly the same locations and also to the left and right sides of the prior repair.
Still under the 50K warranty for rest, Dealer would not re-repair the ZITS and said that The rust needs to show in order to get the entire hood replaced. I asked why not replaced the first time - he said that it was Fords policy to repair it the first time.

The paint is not only bubbling on the roof of the car, but also along the rear window. This should definitely not be happening to a car that's only 4 years old.

There is a TSB for the corrosion problem on 2002-2004... requires hood to be replaced or striped sanded and painted..... neither is cheap. I work at a body shop and have seen 3 (including mine) in the last week.
