| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Van has paint primer failure, and the paint just flakes off. i realize this is not a safety issue, but thought i would report it anyway. i have had my van to two car painting companies who have confirmed for me that the paint coming off is due to primer failure. i have written the manufacturer, and they have advised me that the car is out of warranty of which i am well aware, however, the hood has a large area where the paint has come off, and the hatch has a large strip where the paint has come off, and it is coming off in smaller spots all over the van. i am left with the option of paying for the paint myself which is approx. $2,000 since the entire van has to be stripped, or selling or trading it in at a loss due to the current paint condition. i know my van, which is white, is not the only one with this paint condition as i have seen several others around town whose paint condition is the same as mine, coming off in the same places as mine. i may have wasted my time filling out this report, but feel i have nothing to lose at this point. thank you for your time. no safety defect listed. *ak |
