Ok people , this is HUGE! Ford apparently does not want to stand behind its corrosion warranty on new vehicles. Rust developed in the (dog leg) section of the left quarter panel. This is the section below the left rear door, essentially the wheel well area.Rust perforated the metal panel dictating a covered situation under the new car warranty. Any corrosion within 5 yrs. or unlimited mileage will be repaired by Ford if the corrosion perforates the body panel. Ford said they WOULD NOT replace the quarter panel , only patch the area affected. Anyone in the autobody repair business knows that this is just a short term fix! How short a time period? How about 3-7 mos! Rust came back and was repaired a second time only to have the same problem re-occur! Am fighting with Ford again to remedy this correctly. Not very optimistic!
