Consumer Description

CAR PAINT PEELED OFF IN SHEETS WHEN CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD - CREATED DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS I WITNESSED DRIVERS BEHIND ME SWERVING TO AVOID WHAT WAS FLYING OFF THE ROOF OF MY CAR. MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT - CERTIFIED BUICK DEALERSHIP 'FIXED' = THEY CAUSED OVER $700 IN DAMAGE! I AM NOT THE ONLY BUICK OWNER OF THAT YEAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM & BUICK / GM REFUSES TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY - EVEN AFTER THEIR DEALERSHIP RUINS MY CAR! HAVE 3 CERTIFIED BUICK AUTO BODY REPAIR QUOTES, SHEET OF THE BAD PAINT & CHUNK OF RUBBER WINDOW GASKET HACKED OFF MY CAR - LATER FOUND INSIDE VEHICLE. BUICK KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM & CONSUMERS ARE PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE (FALSE ADVERTISING AT THE VERY LEAST). PLEASE HELP! MR
