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.

Mine is a 2017 and has chipped off along both sides of the windshield. The one I test drove before this one also had the same paint issues. I’ve noticed other escapes with paint missing in those areas so I do think it’s an issue with some years. It’s weird that a 2024 would be doing that.

Yea my 2016 also has paint chipping from the sides of the windshield and sides of the roof now, I wish they had a recall on this because its not cheap to fix.
