Update: Went back to the dealer and they cannot get the problem area fixed. They tried the heat gun at least 10 times and even baked the car 3 times with no succes. Dealer called the regional rep and rep said the only way to fix it if the heat gun doesn't work is to repaint it. So the car is getting repainted. Luckily I knew about this problem before I signed on the dotted line because I put on the contract that I would only buy it if the paint problems were fixed.
I think I am going to pass on this car now. I don't really want to buy a new $30k car with a repaint already. I am now on a mission to find my Spice Red with no defects (if it exists).
As a side note, we did go over their other cars and we were able to find a big section of streaks in a blue one. The black one they had wasn't in the sunlight so we couldn't really tell on that one.
I wish I had pictures (I will get some soon), but the best way to describe it is it looks like your car got splashed with dirty water and the water ran down the side of the car. Some cars have very big areas (the one I looked at) and I think those are the ones they are having problems with.
Anyway, I hope to learn more info. on this as I would love to just order one knowing they know about this problem and fixed the process. But ordering one right now seems like russian roulette with the paint.
