SUVs Mitsubishi Outlander Paint Chips Again 07 Outlander

I said I would follow up with a few kms under our belt. Now at 9500 km. Only the past 600 or so have been on winter roads with a few miles of the usual road "sand". The few chips I received on my first 4000 km trip have been joined by over 30 on both sides of the car - the full length of the rocker panel all the way up to first indent crease. White undercoat behind red is pretty noticeable and very disappointing. I have a couple of other cars in the driveway with over 300,000 km on each and neither has so much a one chip and they have been driven by me on winter roads for over 10 years - now this is either very poor design and or very very poor paint quality - and yes I have the front and rear mud flaps.

If you are going to install a protective coating do it now. I just returned from 1500 km winter road trip to ski. Now the rocker area and the bottom i/4 of the doors each has an equal area of undercoat to the red paint. Unbeleivable deterioration.I havent seen this ever on any vehicle. Checking the suv's in the parking lot and the guys who accompanied me on the trip in their A4 and the old ford bronco not one chip on any of them!!!

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Jan 14, 2008 3:06 pm) keeping down the sandbalsting effect? I am trying to get my dealer to at least switch out my 18" to help the problem. Getting really nervouse about the whole situation, cannot believe Mitsubishi is such a poor company when it comes to their customers. |
