Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Paint began bubbling about a year ago on the roof of the cab. since then every single panel on the vehicle(hood, roof, front 1/4 panels, doors, cab body, and rear fenders) all have at least one spot where paint has bubbled and peeled. some spots as big as a foot in diameter and growing. this is not random. i mean every body part has paint just "letting go". this is an obvious case of poor painting procedures and is seen in many other makes and models from dodge in this same time frame.
