Consumer Description

I AM NOTICING EXCESSIVE PAINT CHIPS ON THE HOOD AND FRONT FENDERS OF MY 2017 MAZDA 3. THE PAINT IS: SOUL RED CRYSTAL PAINT. I HAVE NOT NOTICED OR HEARD ROAD DEBRIS HIT THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 23000 MILES. THE PAINT SEEMS VERY THIN. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER MAZDA OWNERS WITH THIS PAINT HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. PERHAPS THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND BE REPAINTED. I HAVE SUBMITTED A PHOTO - THERE IS ONE DENT RIGHT FRONT FENDER FROM A ROCK THAT DID HIT THE CAR OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT THE CHIPS WERE NOT THERE.
