Hey Folks,

So it seems like paint is actually rubbing off on a few places between two panels. What do you think I can get the dealer to do?

Are they going to just touch it up, or will I be able to get them to somehow repaint the entire panel (since I have stone chips near it, ha ha).

 

They will only fix whatever is covered under warranty. I think they will try to touch it up but you may get lucky and they will repaint the panel =fixing your stone chips.

 

guess i'll give it a try - hope they re-paint the entire panel, ha ha.

 

Just know what that "paint" coverage warranty says, and use that knowledge to your advantage.

 

just use white-out

 

yo kevin,

i have the same problem at teh same spot.

did u get ur car from markham mistu?

i really want to go b!tch at them.

bad service + long wait + expensive service charges.

 

Seroius? I got it from Markham Mitsu as well.

I just went for my oil change today and to do the recall. No lineups and it was done pretty quickly.

I had them shuttle me home since they said it should take about 2 hours b/c of the recall, but they were done in a little over an hour.

As for the paint issue, they noted it on my service receipt, took pictures and sent them to head office for a claim.

I have to wait for them to hear back from head office to see what happens... definitely let them know and get them to file a claim...

I'll let you know how it goes.

Kevin.

 

most of the time they will try to spot touch the affected areas... most dealerships have a seperate company they contract out to do it... dent repairs, chips, scratchs etc.

however that looks like it's actually peeling off with no adhesion... personally I'd push VERY hard to have the whole piece repainted .. I'm guessing that's the plastic bumper? chances are the primer/paint etc didn't bond properly to the plastic.

 

I have a paint issue with the bumper as well, but its not as severe, but still chipping off... I bought mine in Vancouver.

 

Just got a call from the dealership - they just had approval from head office to take it to the body shop under warranty.

Not too sure on what they're doing to it yet, probably get more details closer to when I drop it off on Aug. 21st. (out of town 22-25 so i thought that was best time).

 

god..... i got issues with my paint too.....

my hood has several stretch.. in the clear coat... not deep down the base paint..

i've been giving markham mitsu trouble every week since i got my gts last month.... now... it is STILL not fixed!!!!

 

seems like all of us who are havin' problems are gettin' the cars from markham mitsu... which... sucks...

either that or we're the only ones who bought from markham mitsu who are on here...

 

I got my GTS from Oakville Mitsu....so far so good, no paint problem yet.

Although I still haven't received any letter/phone call regarding the recall, should I contact them directly?

 

yeah, just give them a call - they should already know about the recall - you probably jsut got the car after they sent out the notices...

you migght've already had it taken care of though...

 

i have some paint scratches off too between the panels, kevin, and im from scarborough mitsubishi. lets meet up sometime with fatyin and we can compare our paint issues and push together.
