problem #1

Outback 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 47,000 miles
Paint & trim problems: The titanium colored paint on the front bumper is defective and is coming off; some came off at a local car wash. Defects in paint are evident to paint experts; also, the chrome trim paint on the bottom edge of the front grill is "bubbled up" in 3 places and will soon fall off; car purchased new and not exposed to salt; vehicle age is a mere 4 yrs, 49K miles - this is obviously defective paint; another customer in our area had the same problem.
