Well I was washing my son`s garage kept mustang gt yesterday and found the paint bubbling on each side of the hood. Took it to Ford today and guess what it is not covered because he has 41k on it. No chips and its a aluminum hood but the paint is going to open up soon. What a bunch of BS and I had planned on ordering a LFP from Lebanon ford. CANCELED

There have been tsbs on older my mustangs for this issue, haven't there?

Ford only covers perforating rust.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm almost 100% sure it was 05-08 when they went to the aluminum hood

Actually no longer true.  Some 16 models (not Mustang) and probably (just an educated guess) all 17s (includes Mustang) and up no longer require perforation on aluminum panels.  Still 5 yrs/unlimited mileage.

Yes this should upset the OP.  Ford has recognized the issue as being a warranty item but isn't making it retroactive for for older cars.

I would call ford customer care, and bring up the issue, I am almost certain that they will step up and get your issue corrected... dealers just don't want to do the legwork most of the time it seems.
