Helpful Websites About 2003 Dodge Stratus black car is turning white and flaky

Black 2003 Stratus R/T. just out of warranty and top starts to turn white and flaky probably due to bad primer or clear coat. Spreading to other parts of the car as well. Chrysler knows there was a defect and refuses to fix it. This is much like the last time I got "burned" by Chrysler on a new 1971 Dodge Challenger Plum Crazy color that had the paint literally fly off while driving down the road. Fool me twice, shame on me - but it won't happen with Chrysler again as I will never purchase another vehicle from them. Too bad our Government bailed them out.

Stratus SXT 4 cyl
Noticed the clear coat coming off the roof sometime last spring (2007). Yesterday (03/06/08) I noticed it was starting to flake off at the trunk and rear of the car. This is a salvage vehicle that was fixed up. The hood and bumper cover have a new paint job from the repair--no issue with flaking there. This is going to be a pricey repair. No longer a Dodge fan, jerks.
