Consumer Description

1997 LUMINA HAS PAINT PEELING ON THE TRUNK AND SIDES OF CAR. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON SEVERAL OTHER WHITE PAINTED LUMINAS AROUND TOWN AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A PAINT DEFECT. THIS PEELING PROCESS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW BUT HAS RECENTLY GOTTEN A LOT WORSE. I TOOK MY CARL TO A LOCAL= MACCO PAINTING PLACE AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS A LOT IN WITH GM CARS FROM 1997. THEY EVEN HAD ONE GETTING REPAINTED AS WE SPOKE. TOOK THIS TO A GM DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE A WHITE LUMINA THAT I CANNOT WASH THE CAR AT THE CAR WASH BECAUSE THE PAINT IS STRIPPED. ALSO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. IT WILL LAST TWO OR THREE MINUTES. HAD IT CHECKED AT A LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS IN THEIR COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH THEY SAW THE PROBLEM. *AK
