FordDieselDoctor Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I was washing my 06 fusion saturday morning and i found a rust bubble on the edge of my hood. It's about 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long on the right hand side of the hood above the grille. :heartbreaker: I got 57000 miles on it and haven't seen this on any other ones i've worked on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope no chips or nothing it's coming from underneath the hood. I pulled the black weatherstrip back under the hood and stuck my finger in and there's rust there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Probably just a defect in coating. Bummer it showed itself that late out of warranty My Ranger had a similar problem. The bottom seam of the passenger door (where the inner met the outer) started rusting after 2 years (about 20,000 miles). It was somewhat fixed under warranty, but it came back about 6 years later. It was the only panel to rust on the truck for 12 years (stored outside all the time, driven in winter, etc..). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
