Subaru Forester '05 Paint Issue

So here is the story. On the hood of my Forester is a tiny spot that looks like a blister. The paint, or clear coat is popping up. I talked with the dealer and they said it was bird dropping which is conviently not covered under the warrenty. I got a little upset with them and to them that I need to speak with the Subaru representive. I have an appointment with him next week. What is the best way to deal with this? I can assure you that it was not bird droppings that caused this, the car is brand new and I wash it every week. If Subarus paint is that shitty I want a refund.

Your Sh..ty attitude usually gets you nowhere these days. Why not just be polite and say you are a bit disappointed that your vehicle appears to have a paint problem and can you help me getting it corrected. They take the car back for a paint blemish? You were kidding of course or at least I hope you were. Good luck. ed

No, I have worked with them several times and they are unwilling. Of course I dont expect a refund for a car, but I do want them to fix it. It really makes me mad every time I see it. I am paying alot of money for a car that has a paint issue. Shame on Subaru!

I think that's a great "idiot" response !!

When the OP makes a statement " If Subarus paint is that shitty I want a refund. " about a tiny paint spot on a vehicle he has had for a short while you just know that he has let go of his grasp on reality.

Yeah, some bird poop can do very nasty damage to car paint. My advice: see a reputable independent paint shop and find out from them if this, in their expert opinion, is a manufacturing defect or caused by some nasty crap that was dropped there, and get an estimate on how much it would cost to fix. Then, depending on what you find out, either claim from Subaru, from your insurance or pay for it yourself. BTW, it would help if we knew where you are, as the consumer protection laws vary depending on your jurisdiction.

Bird poop can do nasty damage to a car if its been sitting there for three years. I am talking about a new car that gets washed every Saturday. If every car that got bird poop on it looked like my hood, and every car gets bird poop on it, we would all be riding around in rust pits. Give me a break Subaru is trying to get away with something. I am going to the local news with this. I live in NC, in an area of about 1.3 million, they want like that will they.
