My grandfather owns a 1995 plymouth neon and the paint is chipping off so badly that it is turning white and I don't appreciate it. It looks crazy and that is not how a business is ran. My cousin has the same exact car and her paint is almost 60% gone and that is so unprofessional someone needs to be held resposible what the heck is going on here. Is anyone going to be held responsible? With malfunctions like this I will never do business with this company again. And I will also let every person that will listen how horrible this company treats its consumers.

After a rain, the paint started coming off in sheets. Received estimate of about $895.00 for repair and submitted to dealership. Dealership responded after about 5 months of constant calling and going by dealership and they said they would only pay 25% of repair bill. Paint repair shop said it would not do any good to spot paint because there are signs of other areas starting to peel. No, safety defect.

The paint on my neon--as well as a fleet of neons at my work--is coming off in large chunks. My roof is completely bare, and my trunk and other sections are close. The dealer said it is a problem that is caused by a faulty primer they used, but they have offered to only pay half the cost to repaint. It seems the manufacturer should be held responsible for all costs since it would never have happened if it weren't for their failure.no safety defect mentioned in summary.
