Small dents on my drivers door

[CCLBarsh1@]

How did I get these dents after having my car one year, the car is very compact, I can't put my elbow on the panel, I'm embarrassed when someone gets in my car and asks what happened to my door, I always say that I don't know and that it maybe a factory defect, does Ford cover this?

Thank you,
CB.

Ford will not cover small dents unless you happened to catch them when taking delivery.

From my 24 Warranty Book:
Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust,
deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other
appearance items that result from use and/or exposure to the
elements. You, as the owner, are responsible for these items.
Some examples are:
• dings, dents
• cuts, burns, punctures or tears
• road salt
• tree sap, bird and bee droppings
• windstorm, lightening, hail
• earthquake
• freezing, water or flood
• stone chips, scratches (some examples are on paint and glass)
• windshield stress cracks. However, limited coverage on
windshield stress cracks will be provided for the first 12 months
or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first), even though caused
by use and/or exposure to the elements.

I would look Into paintless dent removal. Depending on the dent and its location paintless dent removal can work and the cost is minimal. Maybe $200. You can check with your dealer as they usually have a paintless dent removal contractor come to the dealer on a regular schedule to remove dents and dings from their used cars and also for customers current cars like you. paintless dent removal uses special small tools to remove the dents and dings. Search paintless dent removal videos on the web before going to the dealer. There is a lot of information out there.

It sounds like the dents are inside the car from what you are describing. Photos would help.

Reread the original post. I think you are right.
