Paint Issues

ok .. I have a 2012 fx4 ... truck currently has 6,600 miles on it ... I live in town and not in the country ... I was waxing the truck earlier today and seen where the paint is chipping on the front end , the front bumper and grille section has a lot of paint chips and its peeling in spots where the chip is at ... the truck came from the factory with PTM front end and mirror caps .

is this a warranty issue .. I went to dealer and the guy I need to talk to is off work today and wont be back till Monday but the sales manager said hes seen it before but that person didn't make a stink with ford on the issue ... im wondering if im going to be fighting a loosing battle . I just want it repainted to make it look new again

ive been told that the grilles and bumpers were painted at a different time and that's why im loosing the paint there and there absolutely no issues on the hood

any advice ?

Glad the dealer actually stood by something! Best of luck with the repaint
