Paint peeling

smkdu · 10-10-2005, 12:51 AM

I had my GTO back at the dealership after one month b/c the paint was peeling from the front bumper(The surface that can be seen under the airdam) And now I just notice as I was cleaning it that the paint is peeling from the top underside of the airdam

I was wondering two things:
1. Has anyone else had this problem and,
2. Does this constitute as a "Lemon Law" claim if it goes back a third time.(After this one.) any help would be great b/c I've only had the car for 3 months.

Tried that but they said that they would only do the area where it occured if they painted the whole car that would be great b/c some little sh%t shot my car with a bb.

Man I'm sorry to here that. Makes you wonder about kids, they have no respect. I had one a few years back, key the entire left side of my six week old car.

Update: I got pissed off enough to complain to General Motors itself. They are going have the whole front bumper cover repainted and the best part is that they are also going to repair where the BB shot was. After I threated to demand a new car if I had to bring the car back 1 more time aparently if get alittle up close and personal with do nothing people they finally listen to you.

So it looks like all is well, I just hope it doesn't peel somewhere else

The most likely reason the paint is peeling is because the dealer had it repaired due to shipping damage or just carelessness by one of their flunkies. Obviously the repair was sub standard. I haven't seen any bumpers peel that were virgin. I used to do work for an Infiniti dealer and I can tell you that many new cars weren't new when they were sold. However my paint work didnt peel.........!!!
