ok guys here's the really deal. What we have here is a built in factory defect.
No matter how many times you paint it IT WILL STONE CHIP. even with sprayble chip guard or mylar flim it WILL FAIL. ONLY ANSWER IS THE RUNNING BOAREDS. GM knew this was going to happen. Thier first attemp was to release a plastic protecter. guess what its a painted part. They gave you a paint part to protect a painted part does that even make sence? Take it BACK ONCE TWICE THREE TIMES THEN GO FOR A BUY BACK. THEY EITHER DO IT RIGHT WITH THE RUNNING BOARES. OR YOU HAVE A GOOD CASE FOR LEMON LAW. WHAT GRINDS MY ASS IS THAT THEY KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

 

Car paint gets damaged sooner or later. GM knew this would happen? You have a source to confirm that?

How can you think damaged paint would make a car a lemon?

Welcome aboard BTW.

 

Relax.

This issue is the dead horse that was beaten, and beaten,and beaten,and beaten,and beaten,and beaten..........

If I'm not mistaken, most lemon laws relate to either safety issues, or mechanical problems which can't be fixed. You said yourself, there is a fix for this, the running boards.

To call it a design flaw I still think is wrong. Its a 50 year old design with 50 year old problems. The solution would have been to not have any fenders like the HHR has. But then we really would have a PT Cruiser. The fenders are what makes the design, along with the hood. If you don't want 50 year old problems, don't buy a car based on a 50 year old design.

 

What?

 

Also wouldn't all three repaints have to happen within the first year according most lemon laws?

 

to the site DR Paint!!! This here is a touchy subject

 

this was tested on a track where gravel is part of the test. 50 year old design so what the boards where part of ths reto lool They work. as far bb if you have a problem that cant be fixed after the third time you have a case. and for u mister dead horse do nothing, when your chips have breached the e-coat and the zinc go's away you will have holes. depending where you live 3-7 year your warntey will take u 2 6 then they can tell you it was custmer abuseLOL. here's a fyi keep an eye out for the stone chipping on the soltice and sky if you do not put mud flaps on them the will be chipping bad. PS GM THAT TOO

 

Just trying to inform you guys who get fed crab from the Dealers
Not all are bad . just dont take every ting they tell you as fact when you buy a new car iit should not be chipping in the first 6 months of ownership

 

If you do a search you will find a number of threads on this TOUCHY Subject.
With different outcomes. But the BB will not help on this matter it has been tried if not posted on this Fourm, it was another. Others have tried and failed. But good Luck to you when you try.

I did research before I bought on 3 Fourms, so I knew to get the bds.

 

yes it would and if you drive it It most likely will
