Description of the problem	At around 59,000 mile the paint around the windshield started chipping away. It now is at almost 83,000 miles and the spots have begun to rust. Driving peels the paint. If there is a heavy thunder storm with high winds it peels the paint. I have gone to the dealership to see if they could resolve the issue and they told me that it was peeling and rusting is because i was going through car washes and the chemicals that are used caused the issue. I only ever had the dealership wash my car or at home. The undercoat is also peeling which i believe is why the car is now rusting. It is a defective product and should not be used on any other vehicles.
