THE PAINT ON THE TRUCK IS PEELING OFF. MOST NOTABLY IT IS OCCURING ON THE DOOR FRAMES AND ON THE TOP ROOF EDGES. IT IS BEGINNING TO SHOW MINOR RUST AND THE PRIMER IS CLEARLY VISIBLE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND I BELIEVE A DEFECTIVE PRIMER WAS USED. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU HAD ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD SEND ME THROUGH MAIL OR ELECTRONIC MAIL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER INSTANCES WHERE IT HAS OCCURED. ANY DOCUMENTS ON LAW SUITS FILED ON THIS SUBJECT WITH ANY GM CAR WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS I PLAN TO GO TO COURT OVER IT. THANK YOU. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK
