| I have a 1998 plymouth neon. the roof of my car began peeling over a year ago, and has rapidly spread and now has rust developing. i have noticed several other neons in my area with similar peeling problems. i have contacted crysler and the refuse to help since the warranty on the paint is 3 years/36,000 miles. i think that is ridiculous. paint on a car should last much, much longer than 3 years.*ak | |||
