Paint is peeling off the roof and passenger side door
- Edgewood, WA, USA
I have a problem with my paint on my 1996 Plymouth Neon peeling off. Its not like it on the roof or hood its all over the car the trunk, the doors, the hood and the roof are all peeling. I know I am not the only one with this problem either.

My Neon has a problem with paint peeling. Large spots of paint come off all over the vehicle, but primarily on the back and on the roof. I can't even wash the car, because each time I do more patches of paint come off. I have noticed this same problem on every Neon that is the purplish (periwinkle) color I have seen. Is there some kind of paint defect with this particular color. The dealership said that the paint was only under warrenty for 12 months, and since it was a 1996 and I wasn't the original owner there is nothing he can do. I realize it is an older car, and I wouln't complain if it was normal wear on a car, but this is more than normal aging.

The car is five "5" years old with 45, ooo miles on it. While it is out of warranty I think the paint job should last a lot longer. When I took the car to the dealer I was told anything over the warranty time limit was to bad. No safety defect.
- Meridian, MS, USA
A 1996 car with 32,000 miles on it should not have paint flaking off in many different places of the car. Right down to metal the paint that comes off comes off like paper!!very disappointed in Plymouth and how they have handled this problem with us!!all the dealers try to pass us on to the next without giving us any information or explaination for these happening!!!

The paint on this car is coming off in good size pieces around the entire car. If it was the hood, that would be understandable, but the sides, roof and trunk is not normal. Please advise on what steps can be taken to have the manufacturer repaint auto. No safety defect.

I have had non-stop problems with the car since day one. It is getting to costly to keep repairing the same problems over and over again. I am really disappointed in the help I have received from the dealership in regards to the several problems I have had with the car. No safety defect mentioned in summary.
