“Paint flaw ,the clear coat is coming off. It has spread all over the car.my whole car looks as if it is camoflouge.I was wondering if anyone else has complained of this happening to their black Galant.my local dealer says that there is no recall on the paint.I think it should be.a paint job should last longer than4 years.the car had a little spot on it when I bought it, but it spread over the whole thing in less than a year.sounds like a defect to me.”
