problem #1

Dec 122003

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,500 miles
Paint blister. Submitted to dealer for warranty repair. Was advised the claim was denied because the vehicle had been repainted. I have owned the car since beginning and have never even applied touch up paint anywhere. Had a second opinion elsewhere to find that the gold fleck in the paint was not distorted, rendering the "repaint" theory false. Also, paint chips all over the hood from the poor paint job.
