“About a year and a half ago our 1994 Buick park ave. Ultra started to have the paint (white)peel off. It has progressed to the point where there is very little paint left on the hood or trunk and only about half left on the top of the car. I have talked to two different dealers about this and both have said that GM is aware of some paint problems with these cars but that unless it started to peel within the first three years that they were not going to do anything to correct it. …”
