Very Alarming Discovery!

That happens on domestics aswell !!!

You missed the J/K at the bottom of my post. J/K=just kidding.
It even happens to Chevrolets! I remember several years ago(early 90's) the Chevy trucks roofs and hoods had the same problem. The only difference was that Chevy didnt repaint the trucks for free because it took a couple years untill the paint fell off. I geuss they figured that was good enough hahaha.

Then, he explained how it happened. At the port there are thousands of cars. Some will have defects where body shops on site will correct the defects. Unfortunately, there are some that choose the cheap shortcut version of simply painting over the original paint!

I can't fault the dealer---how would they know?--

For all we know, the Dealer could have done it

Very sad...Audis aren't made in U.S., huh? There is a BMW factory in SC though...

I never knew this. Thanks for sharing. I'll be on the lookout now

Fly Bye: I seriously doubt the dealer had anything to do with it. Known them for years and are incredibly forthright. In addition, they get all their paint work done at one shop--who performed the correct repaint.

Just believe there's more that goes on at the ports than most people know.

I'm wondering whether a paint gauge would have detected this..if so..should be part of the vehicle inspection process prior to accepting it!!
