I NOTICED THE PAINT CRACKING AND WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY SENT ME TO THE WARRENTY PAINT SHOP, WHICH DETEDTED THE THICKNESS OF PAINT. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN PAINTED BY ME, THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE PAINT SHOP ALSO TOLD ME, AND SHOWED ME THE CRACK IN THE DOOR. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME, BUT CINTACT THE REGIONAL FORD REP. SHE SAID FORD WILL ONLY PAY % 20 OF THE $4450 COST FOR THE PAINT AND DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, SINCE I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DAMAGE AND POOR QUALITY. THE FORD NATIONAL "CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP" CENTER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND KEPT ABREAST OF THE SITUATION. THEY SAY TODAY THAT THE REGIONAL REP HAS THE FINAL SAY. IF THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY, AND BECAUSE I TOOK GOOD CARE OF THE TRUCK SO THE DEFECTS DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL 61,000. WHY SHOULD I PAY? I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT %80 I CAUSED?*AK
