Paint chips on the entire front end
I have a 08 bought in the in Sept. of 07 CX-9 with a little under 51,000 mi. i guess you could say that is considered a little high as far as miles are concern when the average driver mileage is some where around 15,000 annually,{mine 17,000}. I would say the the 65% of the miles are highway but my entire front end looks like crap, i have so many many paint flaws or chips all the way up the entire hood that it makes me sick and i find it hard to believe that these flaws are entirely from highway driving. I also recently took it to the dealer to ask these same questions about theses flaws and could it be something like a suspect clear coat or maybe the paint is just as someone else mention maybe its just soft paint. So i am looking to have to paint the entire front end which is called a nose job in the paint world. The assistant paint manager took some pictures and sent me back over the service Dept. to see if there was a chance of getting some help from the service Dept. as far as warranty maybe or even just maybe helping out a little with the cost basically throwing me a small bone. The District or Regional manager said NO way Jose we don't pay for road debris chips. I wish i had some pictures ready to post but i don't you can see how bad this thing looks. Is there anyone out there with kind of mileage that is seeing the front bumper + hood and fenders looking like they have been in a sand storm. I have another vehicle with more miles then that and we drive it to from the same places and it doesn't even come close to having near the paint flaws as my Mazda and its an 01. I am also going to make a new post about my ABS & TCS light coming on and staying on in a different forum you want to read this as well because the dealership isn't going to throw me a bone on that as well and it going to cost me $1340.00 out of my pocket on a ABS control unit that by know means should have completely failed after 3.5 yrs and 51,000 mi.
