Paint on new Jeep came ofF!

I bought a new Rubicon, fresh off the lot in July of last year (10 months ago). Today I was at a car wash, power washing and a half-dollar sized chip of paint on the mud flare(?) on the passenger side popped off!! Other smaller paint chip problems have occurred over the past year during a power wash, but this is the biggest most obvious blemish. My Jeep is definitely under warrantee, is this normal? Why would Jeep give their products such a shitty paint job? Will the dealership fix it? Or is this a normal wear-and-tear expectancy? What can I do?

Thanks, Muuurgh

The painted flairs are not made of the same material as the non painted ones. If the paint is coming off then it was poor bonding of the paint and primer or you are using one hellatious power washer. The flexing of the flairs has on bearing on the paint staying on other wise there would be a boat load of molded bumpers that the paint would not stick to.

I would think (and expect) that this would be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Tomes

good advice - don't use pressure washers on paint ; they are designed to blast stuff off !
