Paint Job is starting to flake off at 1300 miles and less than two months of ownership

Your lucky you didn't buy or lease the dodge EV. Now there is a car that has issues. Later RJD

Not mine (any more) and I have 2 winters on mine, no paint issues on it.

Is it me or do I remember the blue ones taking longer also.

I hear you brother! No EV's for me whatsoever. Internal Combustion All the Way!!!!!

Yes, Bludicrous came out maybe 6 months to a year after the original colors (also Peel Out was after, then Green Machine)

From the link above it looks like a chrome trim strip, they put a 18+ warning on the picture

The picture below is apparently the same car, same paint damage but the reflection on the side skirt does not seem to match the picture above

I agree, I commented that it was odd that the paint, and the aftermarket chrome strip both peeled in the same spot.

This kind of looks like mechanical damage rather than paint peeling organically or corrosion to me. There is literally a chunk of body missing towards the top of the first image, not just paint. Also, look how the plastic lining within the wheel well at the bottom has a part broke off/missing.

My hope is these are one offs. I’ll be if my car looks anything like this after 1-2 years.

Looks more like gravel road chipping. Later RJD

To me, it looks like SEVERE road chipping. It looks like it is on the plastic, the fake chrome add on molding, the wheel liner. It looks like it has been attempted to be touched up as well.

Yep kind of like it and cased by gravel I would think maybe coming off tires as rock will stick to the tread for awhile before dislodging. Later RJD

That is still unbelievable. My vinyl wraps hold up better than that!

I live near Milwaukee and several places around here do it. I found a local place that just opened and got it for only $800 a few years ago.

I know the EV does as I have friends who ran out and bought the EV version and it is parked in the Dodge Dealer shop more than in their driveways.

Yep lots of issues and if you go to there forum you'll read about all issues. I was one of the lucky ones only had couple minor issues that did not side line my car for a day or 2 but I just was not happy with it and I had leased it so I turned it in. Order the six pack now a happy camper. Later RJD

Got mine on Saturday. Noticed it today. Same place, different color. Already texted my salesman.

 

[VADER34]

Dealer just called me. They’re calling Dodge in the morning to figure out how to address the issue.
