paint rusting & peeling off paint rusting & peeling off

The paint is chipping off along the weld seam on the both sides of the roof, I see this is also a problem on the Pathfinders built in Tennessee which is the same place my Xterra was built. I will be taking it in to have the paint fixed at the cost of $1500.00. this is no doubt a Nissan paint problem.

Seems like the paint on a vehicle should be the last thing to wear. It's all around the windows and the paint goes from Maroon to orange, looks really ugly, and I love my car.

Paint peeling along both gutters. Rust developing. Truck has been in a garage most of its life that it has not been in use. Looks similar to the problem already reported by others with picture in this forum...

Their customer service sucks, if and when you finally get them to call you back they will say I wanna see the vehicle. We set an appointment with the North east regional MGR to look vehicle over. Saw our truck 3 weeks ago and still no answer on if they will fix the paint peeling off of it already or the rust that has already broke thru in cargo door & drivers door jam. $ yrs old and this is already falling apart don't say much for Nissan vehicles along with their absolutely HORRIBLE customer service
