1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2003

Paint blister. Submitted to dealer for warranty repair. Was advised the claim was denied because the vehicle had been repainted. I have owned the car since beginning and have never even applied touch up paint anywhere. Had a second opinion elsewhere to find that the gold fleck in the paint was not distorted, rendering the "repaint" theory false. Also, paint chips all over the hood from the poor paint job.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2002

Paint seem to chip very very easy ! it looks like there is no primer under base coat.
