I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. The clear coat and paint is peeling. Is there a recall on this paint?

did you buy the car brand new??





i was always leary about buying a dodge because their paint jobs are horrible compared to all the others.....





have you noticed that all dodge neons have paint that is peeled off AT LEAST somewhere on the car?!





good luck, take it to your dealer that you bought it from if you bought it new because you should have a warranty that would cover something like this.I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. The clear coat and paint is peeling. Is there a recall on this paint?

I belive most them have a 100k warranty on paint. You might check that out Im not 100% certain. Also if you bought it used that might not apply. I would take it to the stealership and see what they say.





Candice you must not be familiar with the early 90's chevys. Specifically the beretta, the prob with the neons was the primer. I bet you drive a chevy though!
I didn't see a recall on the paint only certain engine cooling systems which can affect the engine.





You see this a lot especially on red or maroon colored cars but it is mainly due to inproper baking on of the color.





If you purchased it new, I would take it to the dealer and pitch a fit anyway. If you bought it used... I would probably do the same.





Good luck.
