I just got mine back from the shop. This was my wife's second accident in my car in 3 months. The first just scraped bumper, this time they had to replace basically everything in the front end $5500. Then when I picked the car up I noticed damage on the rear bumper but have no proof the shop did it. Plus, on top of that the paint job has alot of orange peel in it. My plan was to buy after lease was up, but now after all this I'm turning it in.

I had the same thing happen to my Fusion after I had it only three months. It was parked and a work F350 with a big vice on the back peeled the hood like a can opener. The total bill was over 6K (used the dealer, insuranced paid). At any rate, I found little stuff here and there after it was fixed but each time, i took it back and MADE them repair it. Don't settle for orange peel or anything you find that isn't to your liking. You paid for a quality job and you should get a quality job. Keep going back to the body shop to fix what isn't up to standards. Believe me, I went back to the body shop five times to fix things that I kept finding...they weren't major things either. Finally, I am at the point where I am happy with the job and you can't even tell it was in an accident.
