Door paint start to bubble this fist was notice after I hit the 1,000 mile marker. The paint was repaired by the dealer. Then 3 years later the paint bubble again on all my doors and the back hatch and front hood. It was then repaired by the dealer. 3 years went by and the issue is back the dealer states they do not know why it keep doing that and is unable to fix it again. I feel this is a paint issue with gm. My 2005 trailblazer was having the same problem with the paint around the doors. I am now stuck with a large cost to get this repaired again due to an issue with the paint that I been dealing with since I first bought the truck.
