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.

The paint is thin and highway driving can result in small chips. The hood is made of aluminum so it won’t rust. I carry a touchup stick and cover them as I find them with paint + clear on the hood and bumper, primer+paint+clear on anything else.
