Description of the problem	I bought an 05 wrx in the end of august. 2 weeks and less than 500 miles later there was a quarter sized spot on the driver side door where the paint had come off down to the metal. I noticed the spot immediately after washing my car. After speaking with the dealer i contacted subaru and they told me it was environmental damage and they would not cover it. For the past 5 weeks i have been contacting subaru and they have agreed to repaint only the affected body panels. However, since the initial spot there have been several other spots all over the car. I am currently trying to get them to repaint the entire car, although i would rather not have a 7 week old car completely repainted. *nm
