About a year and a half ago our 1994 buick park ave. Ultra started to have the paint (white)peel off.it has progressed to the point where there is very little paint left on the hood or trunk and only about half left on the top of the car.i have talked to two different dealers about this and both have said that gm is aware of some paint problemswith these cars but that unless it started to peel within the first three years that they were not going to do anything to correct it.i don't think it is unreasonable for an owner of buick's top of the line car to expect that the paint job is going to stay on the car for longer than 8 years.i was at first told that this problem was only with buick's white paint but i have seen some other buicks since then with the same problem and not all are white.
