Has anyone encountered this problem? I would be very interested to know if I am not alone considering that Volvo always tries to hide behind the excuse that the hood was repainted (when I bought the car used) -- but I know that the area in question (especially under the hood) was never repainted!
Thanks!

Hmmm.... My 940 bonnet front edge looks like I drive in a gravel pit..
If not covered (cracks/gaps in the paint) then depending on how bad the rust is either clean off and have it resprayed - but get it acid etched with a zinc-ing chemical or galvanised - and then painted up..
By the way, please try to resist the temptation to use huge fonts. We're not blind you know..
