PAINT PEELING ON HOOD AND TOP. CONTACTED GM 5 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WOULD BE DONE AS IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO WORK WITH ME!! CONTACTED AGAIN AFTER I READ ABOUT CLASS ACTION SUIT AND WAS TREATED WITH NO RESPECT!!! THE LADY I SPOKE WITH SAID GO AHEAD ANY SUE AND SEE WHERE IT GETS YOU. I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS DUE TO PAINT PEELS FLYING OFF MY HOOD AND HITTING THE WINDSHIED. VERY DISTRACTING TO SAY THE LEAST. P.S. I HAVE 234,000 MILES NOW ON THIS VEHICLE. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD ADVERTISMENT FOR GM.
