My 2003 Ram 1500 has a severe case of peeling Clear Coat. Dodge says it was only covered the first year! It's now my problem!

Can anyone offer some advice?

Might try looking around for TSB's for that or just keep raisin hell till they do something one way or another. GM had a problem like that a few years back I'm not sure but I think they fixed a bunch of them.

 

wow, sorry dude but that looks like sh*t! I'd keep trying a few different dealers and see what they say. If you can't get any different answers go higher in the dealership, threaten them, just keep on them til they agree to something

 

looks bad. The good news though, if you have to paint it, it is only the hood and would only cost a couple of hundred dollars to get painted the right way.

 

first picture is showing the roof of the cab...

 

Wow, that sucks. I totally think that Dodge did an absolute crap job painting their vehicles... you look at Ford's their paint stays like new forever it seems. I wonder why a company that wants a good reputation of building awesome reliable trucks would cover it in something that just falls apart. But I do feel better about my paint woes after seeing yours, sorry to say. Has there been any exposure to corrosives or chemicals, bologna or chocolate milk shakes?

 

Was it ever polished/waxed? major metro area with some acid rain? honestly that is the worst paint condition I've seen on that new of a vehicle. Something ate that clear coat.

 

oops!!! Missed that one.
