I had a 2011 Ford Fusion Tuxedo Black and also had bubbles on hood and passenger side. Took it to Ford service dept. they also said rock chips. Took the Fusion to a professional paint guy he said; Ford didn't sand car before painting the reason it was flacking off. I now own the 2012 Ford Edge SEL Tuxedo Black, (love that color) very afraid I may suffer the same problem on this vehical. I will have to wait and see how the paint issues unfold on the Edge have only been 2 months in the new ride. :bike:
