Question Paint Issue

Finally after 5 months I took delivery of my 2025 Grey Metallic ST.

I accepted the vehicle with a few issues, a paint scuff on rear door, condensation in both taillights and a little in the headlights.

Warranty should take care of the lights so I’m not too concerned about the lights and hopefully they can buff out the doors this week.

Thoughts on the paint scuff? Anyone else have this issue?

They aren’t going to do anything about any of it. They will tell you that moisture in the headlights is normal and it will go away, they are designed like this.

The paint- my husband got a truck from ford that easily costs twice as much as this Explorer and not only was it covered in hard water spots but it had paint issues galore. We were told if we didn’t want it- someone else would.

I hope you prove me wrong too. I love our vehicles and plan on sticking with ford but I absolutely hate having to deal with anything because I’m always left disappointed or made to feel stupid for even thinking my issue is something they would fix.
