Example complaints

“The paint on the roof and trunk deck of my 1997 Diamante is fading with white patches. The hood and body paint looks good as new. I waxed my vehicle at least 3 times a year. Is this a defect from the factory I have notice several similar models with the same problem. What should I do about the problem?”
