It is important when you buy an American car the quality of the paint is equal or better the import cars. I don't expect to have to paint the car because bad quality of paint from the manufacture, so I would like to have the manufacture fix this problem.

Caliber SE 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles

The car was only a year old at this point. I took it to the car wash and as I sprayed the front grill off a piece of paint the size of a dime flew off. The dealer tried to tell me a rock hit that area and chipped it off. I stood my ground, because I saw it with my own two eyes. The paint wasn't loose or peeling it just flew off when I sprayed the front grill with the car wash wand. I was worried since the paint came off so easily that the rest of the grill would start losing paint over time. So they agreed to paint the whole grill. I didn't have any problems with the freshly painted grill or any paint on the rest of the body of the car.

Car paint job is crap. Thanks Dodge. I do not live in a high phosphorous area, near the ocean, or salted roads... So why did the paint literally start cracking and peeling off all over the car??? Thank the heavens I no longer have this car!!!!
