AFTER reading about Falcon paint problems, I thought I'd add my experience. Paint came away from my 2005 Falcon XR6 about 18 months ago when I was washing it. A smash repairer told me the paint was contaminated. My dealer took photos and sent them to Ford. Initially they played hardball, but eventually paid for the rear door to be resprayed. The colour is Shockwave Blue, and I have heard of other owners with the same problem. I also hear Ford has a silent recall on the colour. Is that correct?
SINCE we ran the letter relating to paint problems on the Falcon we have had a lot of responses. I'm asking Ford to confirm or deny a recall to correct paint issues.
