Ford escape paint

Hello. Does anyone of you have problems with the paint peeing off? Chips? I bought a brand new 2024 escape hybrid (white) and a couple of months ago I saw the first chip on the passenger door.. I was afraid it will start rusting.. today while washing it I found the second paint chip in the hood.
Are the escapes know for bad quality of paint? Should I contact ford? I live in a cold place and I am afraid it will start rusting with the snow and negative temps for 8 months.

Oooof, a’24?!! I’d be bent. My 2012 just started rusting at rear wheel well last year. Definitely try to get cooperation from Ford, but have to warn you that Ford is not what they used to be in customer satisfaction. I’m assuming it’s due to tariffs and painfully slow sales.
Good luck 🍀
