NHTSA Complaint #10135856 — 2005 SUBARU IMPREZA

I BOUGHT AN 05 WRX IN THE END OF AUGUST. 2 WEEKS AND LESS THAN 500 MILES LATER THERE WAS A QUARTER SIZED SPOT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHERE THE PAINT HAD COME OFF DOWN TO THE METAL. I NOTICED THE SPOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER WASHING MY CAR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER I CONTACTED SUBARU AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. FOR THE PAST 5 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING SUBARU AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPAINT ONLY THE AFFECTED BODY PANELS. HOWEVER, SINCE THE INITIAL SPOT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER SPOTS ALL OVER THE CAR. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPAINT THE ENTIRE CAR, ALTHOUGH I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE A 7 WEEK OLD CAR COMPLETELY REPAINTED. *NM
