I noticed in winter 2000 the paint on the top of the truck was pealing. When I took it in for an estimate I was told it was caused by a defect. The paint loses cohesion with the primer used by the manufacturer. The manufacturer did agree to pay $218 to fix where the paint was pealing at that time. The first paint shop stated it would all have to be taken to bare metal to prevent it from continuing. At this time about a 1/3 of the top of the windshield is next to the non-painted surface. No safetydefect.

The paint is peeling off the body in huge chunks. I have read that the paint coming loose and falling off can be a hazard as the winsheild can come off easily if the paint loosens. I want chrysler to pay for the cost of repainting my entire vehicle. Please contact me at [email protected] or 715‑426‑9974 thanks, mike starrett. *no safety defect listed in summary.

The vehicle is white in color. Last year approximately in june 1998 I noticed that the paint on the cab of the truck started to peel. The truck has been well maintained and is very clean. Now I have a cab that is an eye sore due to the peeling spots on the vehicle. Another concern is that I noticed chips of paint in the driveway where I park the vehicle, and I am afraid that with small children that the chips of paint could be a hazard or do harm.

Passenger's side door moulding has caused water damage to carpet. Door jam plastic moulding set down with 5 screws, penetrating through sheet metal no rubber washers/other components were utilized to prevent outside water from seeping up in the screw holes. In addition, utilized too much torque with these screws, causing oversized screw holes to be created further creating harmful road salts which entered truck body.
