“The paint on my 1996 chevy Corsica is peeling for no reason. May be the primer or paint defect most of the peeling is on the hood, roof, trunck lid, upper parts of all fenders. Some the areas are large. The problem started about 1 year ago. The paint color is green gray.”
NHTSA complaint #10046035, filed 2003-11, 90,000 miles“The paint on my vehicle is chipping and peeling off of various locations. The main locations are the roof, hood, and trunk. I have also noticed the paint has started to bubble in some spots. The spots that the paint has chipped off are now rusting as well. No safety defect indicated.”
NHTSA complaint #705751, filed 1999-04“My main concern is the paint and the airconditioning. The paint began to peel right after I bought it and I was not aware of a recall and couldn't afford to have it repainted. It looks like it has a disease. The air conditioning quit last summer and I have a heart condition. I had to have a bag of ice with me all the time to stay cool, because, again I did not have the finances to get it fixed. The power locks and my horn just quit working and the fuse is impossible to find, so I'm really just hoping someone can tell me how to change that. …”
NHTSA complaint #10071084, filed 2004-01“We have had several problems with this car, including the heating and electical systems(alternator, radio, etc.)and the transmission. The main one at this point is the peeling paint. The car is a very nice medium blue, but it looks terrible due to the spots of gray where the paint just bubbled up and flaked off, very much like it got a sunburn. I took the car to the dealer in october 2000 for some work on the alignment and asked to have researched whether there was a policy on fixing the paint, which had already begun peeling off. He told me he would look into it and took the VIN number. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070594, filed 2004-01“A few months back the paint started flaking off in various places on the car. It's obvious that it's nothing done by anyone outside of the manufacturer. The car hasn't been on bad roads and has been taken really good care of. The damage is clearly the same problem that the 1988 grand prix had, that was recalled. I owned a grand prix from that year and was given a paint job for no charge. I called the Chevrolet help line to find out if there were any recalls on the paint for 1996. An operator told me that there wasn't a recall, but they had released a service notice on the problem. …”
