| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The paint on my new vehicle began peeling off the hood in quarter-sized chunks as i was washing it by hand. although the dealer initially attempted to deny responsibility, they reluctantly agreed to repaint hood, acknowledging that there was an "adherence issue." i discovered through a source in the mitsubishi factory that there was a "lot" of cars that they failed to place an e-seal on prior painting. when my vin was checked, my source discovered that it was one of the vehicles in that "lot." i was told to expect further paint issues with the doors in the near future by this source. this information was not disclosed to me prior to purchase or when i took the vehicle in for repair. in fact, it was only my persistence that resulted in my vehicle's hood being repainted. the vehicles in the lot should be recalled ! i paid over $31,000.00 for this vehicle, and i should not have to be concerned about defective and/or shoddy painting at the factory. please help me find this internal memoranda that governs my vehicle so i can further pursue this issue with the manufacturer. or, if you can be of assistance in rectifying this cover-up., i would be very grateful. my dream car has turned out to be a real disappointment. dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis--------770771. *ak *nlm |
