Description of the problem | I forgot to mention in my list of complaints from thur. 02/10/00, about the paint on the vehicle. There are spots that have appeared on the hood and some on the side . One spot has white showing, the vehicle is black. The spots looks like splatters or some like spider vains. We asked the service deptment the last time tit was being fixed at tomkinson dodge what it was or what causedit. They said it was bird droppings that caused it and that the color black will do that. We don't beleive this, because our vehicles have alway been parked in the same area and none have ever developed spots from bird droppings. I don't beleive anything was written down about this. We asked a friend,who has a body shop what he thought it was, which he said it looks like the clear coat was that was not applied properly. We feel that it should be repainted at no cost. No safety defect listed within summary. *ak |
