I have a 1998 plymouth neon. The roof of my car began peeling over a year ago, and has rapidly spread and now has rust developing. I have noticed several other neons in my area with similar peeling problems. I have contacted crysler and the refuse to help since the warranty on the paint is 3 years/36,000 miles. I think that is ridiculous. Paint on a car should last much, much longer than 3 years.
