Description of the problem | The paint on the hood and roof of the truck is peeling. The dealer called it paint delamination and admitted it as a factory defect. However since my 3yr/30000mi warranty was expired there was noting they could do. I persuded the issue with another dealer and got the same story. I called the factory consumer service line and they refered me to the reagional manager for the northwest. He never returned any of my attempts to contact him. I returned to my orignal dealer, got the same story, but when they looked up the vin# for my truck they had it registered to someone else and told me since i was not the original owner, there was nothing they could do for me. I argued the fact that i was the orignial owner and could prove it. They told me that would not make any difference. I left the issue allone for the past 3 years until i read an artical in the oct 1999 issue of consumer reports. So i decided i would pick up the fight again. Thanks for listening. |
