My 1993 chevrolet astro van was recalled for paint peeling several years ago. my vehicle was taken to a local chevrolet dealer who repainted my vehicle. they had it for at least one week. when it was returned, it did appear repainted. however for the past three years the paint is slowly peeling off on the top of my van. it is now starting to get worse and the silver metal is showing and it is becoming quite noticeable with some small rust spots. there does not appear to be a cover under the the top of the vans paint. small areas on the doors and windows, that are not the same color as the rest of the van are also peeling. if you look around athens, ga, you can take notice of the other chevrolet astros that are also peeling paint. is there any recourse to take care of this?*ak | |||
