On every plymouth neon in the color of blue, the paint is chipping from the hood to the trunk. Also, when it rains, the inside of the car on the floors and in the trunk gets wet and in order to get the water out, it has to be vacuumed. I believe that something should be done about this. After having to invest a lot of money in something that you expect to have for many years, this should not be happening unless it is caused by you.
