1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2003

I have a 1997 Dodge Neon. Within the last couple of months the paint has suddenly started to peel and buckle as if the primer no longer holds it. I have noticed the paint on other Neons as I am driving are also peeling the same way.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2003

1997 Dodge Neon - head gasket leaked - was replaced for a small fee once dealer was contacted. Now we have a problem with the paint on the truck and side peeling and bubbling off. What can we do? can we contact the dealer to have the car repainted? I've noticed several complaints online regarding this problem with Neons.

3 Paint problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2003

This is the 4th time the paint is peeling from my lapuis blue Neon. Why won't they repaint the entire car?.
