NHTSA Complaint #10053055 — 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA

THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO PEEL OFF AFTER IT BUBBLED. I NOTICED THE BUBBLING AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING A PAINT CHIP BLEW UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER THEY CANNOT HELP ME. GMC ALSO WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEIR PAINT JOB. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET THEM TO FIX THIS PAINT PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY WHITE CAR DRIVING IN MY AREA WITH THE SAME DEFECT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME MY WHITE CAR IS MOSTLY A GREY PRIMER. I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING BUT A REPAINT. THE CAR MAY BE RELATIVELY OLD IN YEARS BUT HAS LOW MILAGE AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR AS DID MY MOTHER BEFORE HER DEATH WITH ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP. THIS WAS A POINT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO MADE THAT SINCE I DON'T HAVE SERVICE DONE THERE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MY OIL CHANGE ALSO EFFECTED MY PAINT. IS THIS SOMETHING NEW WE AS CONSUMER SHOULD BE AWARE OF? IT IS OBVIOUS TO ALL BUT CHEVY THAT THERE IS A DEFECT.
