I FEEL DUPPED BY THE CHEVY CORP. THERE ARE SO MANY LUMINAS IN MY AREA ALONE THAT HAVE THIS PEELING PROBLEM I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS IS NOT AN AGING PROBLEM AS CHEVY IS TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYONE, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY THING TO DO WITH THE AGE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE PAINT THAT IS REMAINING IS NEW LOOKING AND VERY SHINY. I HAVE SEEN AGING PAINT THAT CRACKS. THIS IS A BUBBLE & PEELING PROBLEM, MOSTLY IN A VERTICLE DIRECTION. IT IS A DISTINCT LOOK. IN ONE WEEK I SAW 3 WHITE LUMINAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW DARE CHEVY NOT TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. A SIMPLE PAINT JOB WOULD SERVICE ALL COMPLAINTS. I HAPPEN TO LIKE MY LUMINA BUT I WOULD NEVER BUY A CHEVY PRODUCT EVER EVER AGAIN AND MY PEELING LUMINA IS A ADVERTISEMENT FOR AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. I HOPE EVERYONE THAT SEES MY CAR GETS A CLEAR MESSAGE OF WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCT CHEVY MAKES.
