 Dear
Terry,
I'm the not-so-proud owner of a 2003 Chevy Cavalier which
runs nicely and gets almost 30 mpg despite my heavy foot. But about 6 months ago
-- after the 3-year warranty had run out -- the paint started peeling off the
flat horizontal surfaces.
I took it to a dealer -- "Out
of warranty," they said, "Too bad."
But I remember Chevy having a similar problem
a few years back and the company said it would
make good for six years on paint. Any help for
me?
-- PO'd (peeled off) in Peoria  Dear
PO'd,
Ask your dealer to have a regional factory representative take
a look at your car. If there's an issue with rust underneath the surface, that's
covered by a longer warranty than the overall vehicle warranty. Also ask to see
any service bulletins related to paint issues.
