Malibu 3.1L V6

I think I take pretty good care of my vehicles and this is just terrible. The paint started to blister and about a month later a section of paint about 6"x6" fell off. I am also seeing paint loss around the top of the windshield, driver's side. GM get on the stick! No wonder foreign competitors are taking market share!

The area around the fuel filler is rusting from the inside out! I took a closer look and can see that there is a gap between the rubber and the metal. So whenever any water gets inside the fuel door, the water leaks down the gap and destroys the metal from the inside out. Does anyone think when they are designing these cars?
