1993

Name Year/Model Nature of defect
Deborah Thomas 1993 626 LX, Green I'm one of a group of people working to try and get Mazda/Ford to come to some sort of agreement re: compensation for problems we are having with our paint on Green Mazda's in the 1993 production year. The problem seems to cover a both MX6 and 626's and is national; we've talked to folks in Philadelphia and in California and they've got the same problem. I've had the car detailed twice (once by Mazda) and nothing helps. You can feel the paint and clearcoat have just "gone" on the faded spots. Paint began fading on the truck and the left back door panel when the car was about 5 years old. Now there are so many spots it looks like it has measles. I know the person that I purchased it from and it's never been in a car wash so that's not the issue.
David and Lisa Elam 1993 MX-6 Paint on Roof,hood, and trunk has failed, not gloss at all. Looks bad.
Jaysen Gillespie 1993 MX-6 My 1993 MX6 paint turned white on about 25% of the body, generally the surfaces that had the most exposure to sunlight. I believe the clear coat was defective. I just repainted the car the other day it looked so bad.
Michael Diaz 1993 MX-6 I've had this car for 4 - 5 years now. I always assumed that the problem was just my car and maybe me not taking care of it. But I've come across several of the same year/model mx-6's that have the same problem. The paint has oxidized from the front to the rear of the car. Could maybe understand just the top of the car but it's all over.
Steve Firsker 1993 MX-6 The hood and roof is oxidized and fading really bad. The clear coat around the rear window is chipping. Overall, a very bad paint job and I desperately need it fixed. Nothing helps at all. It was taken care of very well and still looks bad.
Yvette Walker 1993 MX-6 My defects are front bumper losing shape from heat expansion and faded paintwork
Tom Schlieve 1993 MX-6 LS Crows feet on drivers side rear section of the car stretching from the drivers side door all the way to the rear spoiler area. I've tried getting it buffed out but have been told that it is impossible since it is below the clearcoat and really nothing can be done short of a re-paint. The "crows feet" began apperaing when my car had only 36,000 miles on it, which seems like a very low mileage for paint problems. hopefully this gets fixed soon.
Dale Adams 1993 MX6 LS V6, Burgundy, paint code J4 The paint began oxidizing all over the car. The bumper paint chipped exessively. The clearcoat oxidized very prematurely.
Will DeGroot 1993 MX6 LS V6, Red All my horizontal panels are badly oxidized, my front bumper and front of hood is chipping, my mirrors and spoiler are completely oxidized and the clearcoat has disintegrated, and my rear spoiler is badly chipped and has crow's feet something fierce. The clearcoat over the rest of the body can be scratched easily with a fingernail and there are extremely bad swirl marks over the entire body. This car was garaged, washed bi-weekly, and waxed bi-monthly by the previous owner, and the rest of the car, mechanicals and interior, is in mint condition so there is no way that the paint should be this bad.
Cristian E. Cabrera 1993 MX-6 LS, Red I'm glad that i've found this website because indeed, my '93 mx6 LS has different defects on the paint job. There are parts where the paint has started to come off or peeled off like in the shape of little holes. Also, there are parts where it looks as if the paint was retouched and it looks like if it has splashes. For the later problem, you have to pay close attention to see it but it's still there. I would really appreciate it if i can get my car checked out and repainted. My car's paint is chipping and it is fading quickly on very specific places like the side view mirrors, the hood, and the front bumber (now there the paint is literaly falling off and it's super faded).
Marvin Cornelius 1993 MX-6 LS, Red The paint is oxidized all over. The front bumper is chipped very badly with crows feet in it. The hood is almost completely oxidized as is the roof and trunk. The top of the doors is the same way. There are even a few spots on the hood where the paint has completely come off exposing the metal.
Jacob Ferrie 1993 MX6, (colour not specified) The hood is faded and the clear coat is chipping off in many places.
O Ponce 1993 MX6, (colour not specified) Faded paint, peeling clear coat, crows feet all over. Very premature deterioration of paint despite good care.
Nancy Snow 1993 MX6, Green The paint is fading out horribly on the trunk lid, roof, side panels below the windows and now starting on the hood. It started about 3 years ago and has gotten progressively worse. My trunk now has more “fade” than paint and it looks like it’s practically down to the primer! My once beautiful car is now an embarrassment to drive. The rest of the car is in great condition. If I had a new paint job I’d feel like I was driving a new car again. Judging from the rest of these entries, I’d say we definitely have a case we can make with Mazda/Ford.
Terry Miller 1993 MX-6, Green My paint is oxidizing over the entire top of the car. The clear coat is chipping on the trunk, roof, and the hood. I love the design on the car but, the paint job looks horrible. I wash, wax and even buff it, but nothing helps.
Dustin Martin 1993 Probe The paint is faded on the roof and the back hatch. Also on the rear quarter panels.
James Joppeck 1993 Probe I have oxidation on the headlights,right fender,bad clearcoat on the and faded paint on the roof, trunk, rear right quarter paneland the front bumper looks horrible.
Justin Stouffer 1993 Probe The paint is badly oxidized on the hood, fenders, roof and hatch area. There are also a lot of cracks in the paint on the front bumper cover. I have tried everything to try to bring back the paint, but it looks like only a complete re-spray will work.
Kyler Pace 1993 Probe Paint on hood looks cracked; kind of spiderweb like. Chips and cracks easiely.
Misty S. 1993 Probe (Base), Electric Red Severe oxidation on the hood, roof, and hatch...seems to be getting worse no matter what I do to it...also starting to fade on the fenders...
Christian Domaryd 1993 Probe (Base), Laser Red Crows feet on roof, hood and oxidised paint.
Andre Coelho 1993 Probe Base GL, Candy Apply Red The paint onthe entire car is very very very soft! I rub against it and it scratches ive taken very good care of the paint polishing and waxing! the paint chips at the front from normal driving... chips that i would expect from some one who is constantly behind a sand truck. The roof and top of the hatch back have crows feet everywhere, and clearcoat is begining to wear off near the windhield and side windows. the clearcoat has also faded off on the top of the hatch back. the top of the doors have begun to fade and so have the mirrors. Other than that the paint is fine. there is no way to get the crows feet out!
Jason Safrit 1993 Probe Base, (colour not specified) There is oxidation on the hatch, roof, and on the hood. The roof has small cracks all over it. There is NO clearcoat remaining on the car.
Jen Long 1993 Probe Base, Black Cearcoat is peeling all over the car paint is oxidizing bad paint at Factory installed spoiler is chipping. The paint is just chipping right of the car no amoutnt of polish or wax or eveen Meguires Paint cleaner can make this problem disappear even for a week. It is rellavent there is a problem with the factory paint this should be handled by the people at Ford promptly.
Matt Knudsen 1993 Probe Base, Calypso Rear hatch paint has oxidzation real bad. I used everything I could get my hands on to try and stop this from happening. All I did was slow this process down a little.
Jason Beck 1993 Probe Base, Calypso Green The clear coat that they put on these cars do not last it is fadeing more everyday,on my hood driver side door all the way back to the rear,mroof is faded to the point where you can see the metal no matter what you do to it. you could probably store it in a dark garage and it would still fade.this has to be the worst paint job i have ever seen ford do if they had any commitment at all they would take care of the problem and fix there mistake.I have been a ford lover my whole life but this really dissapoints me baddly.

J.H. Deckers 1993 Probe GT Hi there, I`m a man from the netherlands. My car is a 1993 ford probe GT, the problem is the paint of the car. The colour of the roof is showing crow feet and faiding. The hood is also fading. What i tried to do is to order the correct colour for my car by Ford main HQ in the netherlands but the said to me. That it was my problem a the couldn`t help. So i had to go to a diffent dealer to get a colour that was almost the same colour as the original. I wax my car once a month and take very very good care of the car. Because here in the netherlands the a only four of these type of american probe and i`m the only one with a GT so the parts are very difficult to get here. But the are enough european type of probe but i don`t like them. Give me an american type any day. So if any one can help me with my problem to get the colour back. I would be a very happy man. You can mail me on this adres jh.deckers@hccnet.nl

Please Ford, I want to love you guys, but you constantly make it hard for me i.e. Paint, Distributer/Ignition/Transistor problems, faulty gaskets, oh, not to mention the whole "Explorer/Firestone" thing. I hope you all don't drive yourselves into the ground like GM seems intent to do to itself.
Mike Hatmaker 1993 Probe GT The paint is heavily oxidized. the car is regularly waxed and nothing seems to help at all. also, the front bumper is terrible. chips and cracks in paint all over. The only part of the car that looks good is the passenger side. it has been repainted about 1 1/2 years ago. My '90 PGT has a better paint job and i have never waxed it and has 5x the mileage.

I built some great upper body muscles, but my car still looks like crap. I was recently told there was a problem with all of them and that there had been a recall. Is it too late to get some satisfaction?

I have taken such good care of my car's paint it's rediculous. The paint also has tiny cracks over the entire car.
Glenn Bradbury 1993 Probe, Teal Mist The paint is almost completely oxidized on the hatch, with spotted oxidation on the roof and hood.
