Consumer Description

THE INTERNAL FLOOR ON DRIVER SIDE SHOWS OBVIOUS EROSION FROM NORMAL SALT EXPOSURE IN THE WINTER. DEALER IGNORED MY COMPLAINT OF THE EROSION WHEN I WENT TO ADDRESS ANOTHER RECALL REGARDING SALT EROSION.

PAINT NEAR EXTERIOR HANDLES SCRATCHES EASILY AND EVENTUALLY REVEALS THE COLOR OF THE SECOND LAYER OF PAINT WHICH IS A DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT COLOR FROM THE CAR'S EXTERIOR PAINT COLOR. *TR
