I purchased a 2009 Chevrolet Traverse in April of 2009. This weekend I noticed the paint is starting to chip off in spots and has large circular blimishes in others. I took it back to the dealership today and they want to repaint the hood and buff out the other blemishes. I don't feel this is a fair resolution to this problem. Should they not have to a least repaint the whole car and if they do is that not going to devalue my car. What I would really like is a new car. Am I wrong for thinking a 2 month old car should not be having this problem and to expect it to look like a new car. I just need some advice. I can I say I wnated to buy american but am thinking I should have gone with the Honda Pilot.

Replying to: mej1965 (Jul 15, 2009 5:21 pm) Cars dont just develop blemishes they are there or they are not. A proper paint correction will make it look fine. You have a used car and the dealer will only take it back as a used car..... just the facts. |

Replying to: jb_turner (Jul 15, 2009 6:38 pm) Not if it can be lemon'ed.  Then the car company takes it back and refund the sales price minus a small charge for miles driven.  mej1965, check your lemon state laws, and make sure from now on you document everything (photos of car, interaction with dealer/car company). |

Replying to: verdugo (Jul 15, 2009 7:29 pm) I'd suggest that the buyer lets the dealership do what they need to do, including repainting the hood and go from there. The car will not stay perfect forever with new paint anyways as over time chips and scratches will accumulate. |

You must live in the cheap part of the state.
