What Owners Say
"Sliding sunshade got pinched and had to be replaced"
Anonymous, MI (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"Panel on driver door came loose. Had to have re-glued."
Steven H., FL (2010 Ford Mustang GT 4.6-L V8)"Paint peeling (oxidizing) on front edge of aluminium hood. Ford refuses to do anything about it. My son has a 2013 Mustang that the same thing is happening. I have seen other people on the internet having the same problem."
Anonymous, NJ (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"Paint bubbling along front edge of hood"
Anonymous, FL (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"Oxidation on the front right side of aluminum hood. Over the years, seems to be a common problem with the hoods on Mustangs. Good luck to the new F150 owners"
Sean Z., NJ (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"One inch lip where hood dips down - paint bubbled and fell off in 1 1/2 circle. Ford would not fix even under extended warranty. Car garaged"
Barbara T., OH (2010 Ford Mustang 4.0-L V6)"Paint bubbling on leading edge of hood. I understand that Ford has been aware of this issue (contamination on aluminum hoods) for 10 years or more yet treat each case as an isolated instance despite internal TM's about them"
Edward F., OH (2010 Ford Mustang GT 4.6-L V8)"You can see the base paint on the bumpers in the areas of the that experience the highest wind friction. On all other surfaces the paint looks like new"
Toby W., FL (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"front of hood paint began to peel because of rusting of the hood itself underneath the paint. Hood had to be replaced and repainted."

Anonymous, PA (2010 Ford Mustang GT 4.6-L V8)"Trunk lid rusting at seams inside of lip"
Anonymous, ON (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"Aluminum hood paint blister"
Anonymous, ON (2010 Ford Mustang Base 4.0-L V6)"This is a very common problem with 2010-2014 Mustangs. The aluminum hoods are contaminated prior to painting and the contamination causes rust on the hood. My Mustang is covered through the winter and often during the other seasons. It is rarely driven in the rain and never in the snow and cleaned/detailed often. Yet, it still has rust. The rust hasn't broken through the paint yet but it is only a matter of time."
