Description of the problem	Purchased my 2012 nissan altima coupe 8/2/2012. In just over 30 days the paint was coming off the rear bumper on both sides near the rear tire where the bumper meets the body of the car. Took the car in to have the bumper repainted. Within 60 days the paint was coming off in the same place again. Took the car back last month and was repainted with 3 flaws... Needless to say it has to go back yet again!! Also, within a few days of purchase i noticed that the radio would not pick up local radio stations without a lot of static and interference. Only 1 out of 12 presets do i get on a consistent basis and i only drive within a 25-30 mile radius of my home. Took to the dealer and they said it was because of the window tint. Gave them information from 3m that the tint would not interfere with the radio and then they said they didn't hear it. Taken back on several occasions and no resolve. Noticed 3/17/2013 that my leather wrapped steering wheel has split in the grain of leather and it is right where my right hand goes to drive. Transmission is not consistent... When i let off the gas briefly it is as if someone has hit the brake pedal and the car "draws back"... Very annoying!!! I also purchased xzilon paint protection system at the dealers recommendation because the car is black and i live in fl... Now 7 months later this protectant has completely ruined the paint on my car and shows horrible marks on the hood and leaves terrible water spots on the vehicle that are almost impossible to remove. Taking to the dealer for the new paint issue tomorrow. I am hoping to just trade in and get another car... Unfortunately under the circumstances it will be a nissan... But will not be an altima!
