Chevrolet Trax paint peeling issue requiring repaint on Chevrolet Trax

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing significant paint peeling issues, particularly with the blue metallic color, attributed to dissimilar chemicals between the base coat and primer that prevent proper adhesion. Many have contacted the Maher Firm to report the problem and have it documented in a database. Dealerships have acknowledged this issue as a known concern, processing some cases through GM warranty, but this often results in repainting costs being passed on to the owners. The paint peeling has caused frustration, with some owners seeking financial assistance from GM for new vehicles or coverage for repainting costs. Reports indicate that the peeling can occur on various parts of the vehicle, including the hood and A-pillar near the windshield. Additionally, GM has faced criticism for not addressing the paint peeling under warranty, leaving some owners feeling that the repainting costs exceed the vehicle's value.
