What is the FACTORY paint warranty on a 2000 Dakota? I have looked in the owner's manual, but can't find this information. I have a 2000 Quad Cab that has the paint severly fading/peeling on the roof, hood and bed rails. Dealer has contacted Chrysler, but they have refused to do anything. Truck has LESS that 50,000 miles and was sold NEW only 4-1/2 years ago. Any information and/or suggestions will be appreciated.

 

Im almost 100% sure theres no such thing as a paint warrenty on Dakota's or alot of cars

I would suggest getting it re-sprayed...it isnt too much money and you can get some pretty nice colors

 

actually, i think there is a standard Chrysler paint warranty, i think its 5years/100,000 miles. but i think it also assumes that the vehicle has not been in any accident and does not cover things like rock chips and such. I don't have my warranty card from 00 dakota but I know I remember seeing something to this effect. however, if you do get it repainted, you can get a warranty on that paint, if you get it at a reputable establishment, not Maaco.

DakotaRT2K is correct. There is definately a warranty. It is called PERFORATION. However, as he said, it is limited, and will not cover rust from damage, (etc).

 

there is a warrenty, it is listed in your warrenty book regarding perforation and rust. Not sure the length of coverage. Had to have my hood repainted when the truck was only a year old new to rail dust from the shipment of it.

 

It is difficult to get paint warrantied. To many variables that could contribute to the problem. Like if the vehicle has ever been in an accident. Good Luck though.
