My '03 zx3 has the same problem...however, I don't think its a problem across the board for ford/focii. First thing, it starts out as paint peeling, which then leads to rust on the exposed sheet metal. Furthermore, my wife's (now brother in laws) '01 sedan is spotless in the same area with 50,000 more km's.
If you ask me, I think there's some inconsistencies with the prepping/painting system.
For the record, ford quoted me about $800 to fix their crappy paint procedures...needless to say I didn't bite.
