Angry Paint problems!

I drive a 2002 Lancer ES - Black - paint chipping from the hood a lot and spots on the rear driver side door and frame as well as one spot on the roof of the car. I only wash my car with soft cotton and there are many light scratches all over the paint. It is not shiny and clear anymore and I am afraid to wash it these days because the paint keeps coming off and scratching. I brought it into the dealership and they told me I must come back when the Rep is there which will be next week. I have printed this out and hope it will help but what can we do further about this? These cars have cheap paint and I don't want to pay for the manufacturers shoddy work! I have driven 20 year old cars with original paint that looked better than this 1 1/2 year old paint job!

i have a 2002 red es model ... i have chips all around the hood and front bumper of my car . i had a dent in the trunk .. but that was from the dealer when i bought which i didnt notice until later ... bastards!

P.S. i meant to mention the chips do go down to the metal .. i didnt think the warranty covered the paint.

If your clear coat has swirls just wax it and buff it out...

Is there anyone out there that knows what we can do? I don't want to just sit back and let these people get away with not backing their product! (I saw our Regional Rep and he was just as I expected - out for himself and not willing to help!) I want to take action, but I am not educated on such things and I have never had experience. I have contacted the National Automotive Dealers Association by email and am waiting for a reply. Let's do something! Anyone with me?
