THIS PROBLEM IS ONE MENTIONED QUITE OFTEN AND APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACURER PROBLEM, MAYBE NOT CHRYSLER BUT CERTAINLY THE MAKER OF THE GASKET.

    - DRACUT, MA

    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. *AK
