Has anyone been successful in getting Ford to repaint the peeling @ chipping paint ?? My Explorer is only 3 years old & the hood had about 6 spots where the paint is bubbling.

Have you contacted any of the corporate numbers listed in your owners manual?  
I have a ‘06 and ‘13 Fords with no paint issues. So I doubt there is a common cause but since yours is only 3 years old I would definitely be making phones calls and writing letters.  
Has the dealers body shop said anything?
