Consumer Description

PAINT BLISTERS ARE STARTING TO APPEAR ON REAR LIFT GATE. DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT RUST BUT CORROSION DUE TO THE ALUMINIUM MATERIAL THAT THE LIFT GATE IS MADE OF AND POOR PREP WORK OR CONTAMINATION FROM THE FACTORY PAINT. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND IT WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE UNTIL THE LIFT GATE IS REPAINTED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE HOOD MAY ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE IN THE FUTURE SINCE IT IS ALSO ALUMINUM. A CAR THAT IS THREE YEARS OLD AND GARAGE KEPT SHOULD NOT HAVE BLISTERING PAINT. MY OTHER VEHICLE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD AND BESIDES CHIPS THE PAINT IS FINE.
