Paint is peeling off and is cracking all over car. I have waxed this car all the time and it is in very good shape other than the paint.

Paint started bubbling up and peeling off in large chunks. Can't even wash with a hose or more paint is removed. Chrysler will not repair as it is out of warranty. Research has shown that this is a known defect by Chrysler. They still assume no responsiblity.

Contacted Chrysler because one year earlier there was a recall for the same problem. I was told it was fixed in my build. I guess they are wrong. No safety defect listed. ***dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***761148

Small dime sized area of paint peeled off roof of car when I was hand washing car. Primer still intact. Then when I drove car in the rain and washed again at a later date. Paint continues to peel and area of paint missing is softball sized and growing. No rust on car. Dealership said to take car to an auto body repair shop to get it repainted. I suspect this is a defect with the paint or the process of painting this car. Does anyone else have this problem? no safety defect mentione din summary.

I'm very upset about my paint coming off my car. I don't think a paint job on a car that is only 4 years old at the time should be chipping off. I brought the car to a dealership and they said they would repair it and took my name and phone number, they said they would contact me and never did. I would like to know what I shoould do" I would like to know if ther is a recall on a blue plymounth Neon for chipping paint" no safety defect listed in summary. Off.

I have truly been disappointed in this car. It has been nothing but trouble. The complaints are the main ones. However, they happened several times. I had actually contemplated on checking out the lemon law, but didn't know how to go about it. The check enging light kept coming on and they couldn't find the problem, this finally was fixed after 6 months of repeated problems with it. A year later the check engine light came on again, because of previous problem I waited an extra mile to pull off. My engine was blown ! I had hit a bump, which inturn punctured the oil filter. I am really unhappy with this vehicle.
