| Description of the problem | This nissan altima was purchased new in sept 2011. Since the purchase, we have noticed an excessive amount of rock chips in the paint. This vehicle is only driven in town and very rarely on the highways. Now the clear coat is peeling on the roof where there are no chips. I have attempted to resolve this with nissan and they blame it on normal wear and tear. There are even chips on the sides of the car where it's nearly impossible for a rock to impact. |
