Paint Problems of Subaru Impreza

Paint chipped off while washing.

I have a 2005 wrx sti, and the paint has been chipping off!!! I store my car privately, it only has 18,000 miles on it, and the paint gets chipped off by anything and everything. I wax the car monthly and get it detailed quarterly. What kind of paint chips that fast? I have other friends with Subarus and they have the same problem. Thanks for the 32,000 dollar lemon.

I bought an 05 wrx in the end of August. 2 weeks and less than 500 miles later there was a quarter sized spot on the driver side door where the paint had come off down to the metal. I noticed the spot immediately after washing my car. After speaking with the dealer I contacted Subaru and they told me it was environmental damage and they would not cover it. For the past 5 weeks I have been contacting Subaru and they have agreed to repaint only the affected body panels. However, since the initial spot there have been several other spots all over the car. I am currently trying to get them to repaint the entire car, although I would rather not have a 7 week old car completely repainted.
