Paint quality problem on '13 Limited
Bubbles in paint on the roof of a not more than 2 month old Limited. Bubbles in the middle of the room behind the sunroof and along the gutters above the doors on both sides. Has anyone else had something similar and what have you done? Did you trust your dealer in fixing it right?
I also have a problem with my Sync for my iPhone now, the bluetooth is acting glitched as I was able to sync them up at first, but now it won't even recognize it connected, the Menu in the Bluetooth screen wont let me connect to ANY device as it immediately says No Device detected, and reverts back to the previous screen, without a chance to select any other option on the menu!
To make matters worse I noticed the radio wanting to stay off and not letting me turn it on at all at times, after starting the car. I'll notice my radio didn't turn on and have to actually put it in park, turn the car all the way off and open my door so the whole system will turn off, hoping that it will reset and the radio will come back! This while sitting at a red light, done this multiple times in a single day now, it's intermittent though like on cold mornings. I have my whole sync updated and with the A4 card it came with. =(
Going to go in for the Sync issue and show my buddy who is a salesman there the roof tomorrow, but what do you guys think mainly on the paint?

Another member here had problems with the roof gutter on his truck, actually looked like holes in the roof. If you do a search you will probably find it.
Paint problems do happen, I know your frustration with this, just take it back to the dealer and they should make it look better than new. Just keep an eye out for other problem areas in the future.
I see you are in a hard water area, black (any paint color really) and hard water take much more effort to keep that paint surface clean. Dark colors tend to exasperate the problem.

Wow, that sucks man! I have a 2012 Lariat that had many of the same paint issues on the roof. But not that bad. I sure hope that you don't have to go through everything thing that I did. The body shops that fixed my truck have done more damage than good. Glad to see that Ford has fixed the problem, NOT!!!
I had bubbles in my 12 and had it fixed by the dealers contracted paint shop and it looks better than the rest of the truck and even fixed te dry spray on the inside of the doors. Good luck

I wish we had paint shops like this by me. Their paint work is good, however, their assembly guys really suck!



! You'd think ford would have stopped this issue by now!!!
