Paint peeling?

ive had my 2014 st for a few thousand miles now and have no problems up until now. i noticed when i went to open my door up that there was something on my hand. i went to see and noticed that it was paint from the handle. when i looked at of the backside of my drivers door handle the paint had completely peeled off. when i looked at the paint piece it looked as if there was not a spec of primer on it. it actually looks like it was glued (weird burnt residue?). on top of that i have some bubbling on the inside of the doors. ive looked around and maybe im not looking too well but is this normal? i heard that the paint on the focus was weak after people were taking wraps off of their cars only to find out the paint came with it. when i hold the paint piece in my hand it just flops around like its just one layer of paint and thats it. i dont have any major chips on the rest of the car other than rock chips from the previous owner. is it something i should be concerned about because i was planning on doing a little buffing soon but if its that weak/thin i dont want to take anymore clear/paint thats left. same as a wrap, it dosnt feel right hiding damage like that, especially if i sell it any time soon.

Weird! From the first day I had my FiST the paint was rubbing off the drivers' side door handle. Mine was still new enough that I took it to Ford and demonstrated the paint was still semi-liquid and there was no primer on the plastic so they repainted it. I have no idea what the melty mess in your picture is though.
