Where exactly was it cracking?

NEOSS/SC

drivers side rear quarter under the back window right on the air stream line, about a 3x3 inch spot.

I've got a spot on my trunk that looks like they missed on a pass with the clearcoat. Can't really see it if you aren't looking, but it's still there.

the paint ******* sucks on these cars. i tried to get them to fix it, but I was informed that because I had removed my factory rims and tires and replaced them with the same size rims and tires, that I had voided my warranty.

********.

On my rear of my car I've noticed red overspray on my yellow paint. Could ave been when it was in when they replaced my front bumper or from factory...

VagrantRadio

That's bullshit. Put your stockers back on and go to a different dealership.

NEOSS/SC

and report them your rims and tires have nothing to do with your paint! If that doesn't work call a lawyer and sue there ass they have to prove that the mods you made cause the damage they can't just void the warranty that against the law.

theres actually a law against dealerships doing something like that.

Adirondack_Cobalt

i've been on the phone with their customer service for a couple of months and they insist that there is nothing they can do. I'm telling them that how can rims make paint come off the spoiler and the front of the bumper? How can the problem be with rims and tires when they are the same size as what I took off?

the dealer network is killing me.
best of luck to you getting that fixed.

"I'm sorry sir, you have been putting in 87 octane, that is why your seatbelt does not full retract. We have to void your powertrain warranty now."

Adirondack_Cobalt

the dealership i bought my car from informed me that because i had painted my engine cover and added red conduit instead of leaving it factory, I was jeopardizing my powertrain warranty as well... i need a good, evil lawyer... I mean Devils Advocate evil... i'd put ******* Satan on retainer if I could right now.

Call a lawyer and sue them or go to Pat O'Brian in Willoughby. They took care of the problem immediately and gave me a rental. They are also doing my Stage 2 and I'm keeping my warranty.

You just need to get mean in a friendly way with them.

I have about 8 spots on my vehicle where the paint has chipped (it shows white underneath it). Appears to be down to the metal. A friend who knows paint said the paint job on my vehicle is crap. I've had my car for about 5 months. Not sure if I should take it back. Really just want to wait a year or 2 & touch it up for now & then get a metallic paint job.

Can someone tell me if this paint on our vehicles is a good quality????

NEOSS/SC

the chips will get bigger this winter and rust.

I need to take a full day off work for these puppies. Use my mothers clay bar & use that Langkta(?) kit. Of course I have to order the kit first.

NEOSS/SC

I would get it done before fall.
