I purchased my 2003 Nissan Altima on may 05, 2003 and it had a defect in the paint on the hood. I asked the dealer dorschel automotive for a new hood and they refused and said they could paint it. The paint job was absolutley terrible and was repainted five additional times. Almost the entire car has been painted and now the front nose/spoiler area is all checked and cracked and needs to painted. The vehicle only has 10,000 miles. I want a new vehicle or my money refunded for this vehicle.
