Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GTS AND I HAVE NOTICED ON THE TOP OF MY ROOF THAT MY BLACK PAINT IS TURNING WHITE! IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE . I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT COMPANY DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BLAMES IT ON THE ROAD, SALT, AND BIRDS. A CAR THAT IS THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PAINT PROBLEMS! I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MITSUBISHI AND WILL NOT BE A CONTINUING CUSTOMER IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I AM HOPING MITSUBISHI TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY IN FITTING THE PAINT. *TR
