The roof of my 2016 Chevrolet Equinox the clear coat has started to bubble and lift in blotches. This car is the titanium color (dark grey metallic) I've taken very good care of my car. This is my first GM vehicle that I've ever purchased new. My car is under cover in a car port. The VIN# indicates it was built in Canada. I believe GM is responsible for the paint deteriorating on a 5 year old carin excellent condition.

Clear coat on vehicles top is peeling. My Chevy has been taken care of very well. I believe that, this vehicle was built in Canada and that factory cut corners on appling the correct amount of clear coating to the primary color.

My son was in an accident Oct 26, 2018 @ approximately 7:30 pm.. he was turning left on highway rt. 50 in mt. Storm, wv with signal light on to pull into a parking lot. A truck driving at a high rate of speed from behind attempted to pass him on the left even though my son was already turning left. The truck hit directly on his front left tire by a vehicle driving at a high rate of speed. The frame was damaged and we are unsure of additional damages until the insurance adjuster inspects it. The side airbag did not deploy resulting in my son hitting the side window and diagnosed with cervical sprain. Driver was drinking and admitted to driving 65-70 mph. Police report was filed and firefighters arrived.
