UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PAINT IS PEELING FROM BOTH DOORS OF MY CAR AND NOW HAS ALSO STARTED ON THE ROOF. I FIRST NOTICED IT IN OCTOBER, HOWEVER, IT STARTED GETTING WORSE IN DECEMBER. LARGE PIECES HAVE PEELED OFF THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND SMALLER PIECES HAVE COME OFF OF THE PASSENGER'S DOOR. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO ME, GRANITE RUN, IN MEDIA, PA AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BUICK REGIONAL ALSO SAID THE SAME THING AND THAT IT IS OUT OF THE "GOODWILL" PERIOD. I HAVE SENT A LETTER TO BUICK IN FLINT, MI AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. MY LOCAL BODY SHOP HAS SAID IT WILL COST AT LEAST $ 600 TO FIX. THEY ALSO SAID IT IS AN OBVIOUS PAINT DEFECT. MY RESEARCH SHOWS I HAVE "DELAMINATION" GOING ON. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO A CAR IN THIS DAY AND AGE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. NO SAFETY DEFECT. *AK
