THE PAINT STARTED BUBBLING AND THEN COMING OFF IN SEVERAL PLACES ON THE CAR, BEGINNING WITH THE HOOD. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GM BECAUSE I SEE MANY CORCICAS WITH THE PEELING PAINT. I WONDER WHAT KIND OF CHEAP OR DEFECTIVE PAINT THEY USED ON THESE CARS? THEY ALL HAVE THE PEELING PAINT FROM 1989 THRU 1996.

O.K. FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS STRONG RADIATOR SMELL. REPLACED ADIATOR DUE TO CRACK, STILL HAD ODOR, THEN FILM ON WINDSHIELD, NO HEAT,JUST COLD AIR. PRECEPITATION ON INSIDE WINDOWS, WET FLOORBOARD. GUSHING LEAK FROM HEATER CORE. REPLACED WATER PUMP & HEATER CORE. STILL SMELLING VERY STRONG RADIATOR FLUID, GURGLING SOUND AT START UP AND TURN OFF. LOSING RADIATOR FLUID, BUT NO LEAKS. FLUID COMES FROM UNDER CAP (REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY) AT TIMES AND HAS OVERHEATED TWICE. THERMOSTAT HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. RADIATOR SMELL IS ENOUGH TO CHOKE YOU.

PAINT PEELING OFF HOOD,LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED IN 2001 SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE DEALERSHIP (NEW OWNERS) CONTACTED SAID THE CAR WAS OUTSIDE OF THE "RECALL". CONTACT MADE WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECORD OF ANY PAINT PROBLEMS FOR THE 1996 CORSICA NOR ARE THERE ANY RECALLS ON THAT VEHICLE.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, INCLUDING THE HEATING AND ELECTICAL SYSTEMS(ALTERNATOR, RADIO, ETC.)AND THE TRANSMISSION. THE MAIN ONE AT THIS POINT IS THE PEELING PAINT. THE CAR IS A VERY NICE MEDIUM BLUE, BUT IT LOOKS TERRIBLE DUE TO THE SPOTS OF GRAY WHERE THE PAINT JUST BUBBLED UP AND FLAKED OFF, VERY MUCH LIKE IT GOT A SUNBURN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN OCTOBER 2000 FOR SOME WORK ON THE ALIGNMENT AND ASKED TO HAVE RESEARCHED WHETHER THERE WAS A POLICY ON FIXING THE PAINT, WHICH HAD ALREADY BEGUN PEELING OFF. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND TOOK THE VIN NUMBER. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AND I BECAME ABSORBED IN FIXING THAT PROBLEM, SO THE PAINT PROBLEM BECAME SECONDARY. SINCE I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THAT DEALER, I CONTACTED ANOTHER ONE AND WAS TOLD RIGHT OFF THAT THERE WAS NO POLICY CONCERNING MY CAR, AND SUGGESTED THE PAINT WAS DAMAGED BY RAIN OR BIRD DROPPINGS. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. I HAVE ANOTHER BLUE CHEVY, A 1990 CAVALIER, WHICH HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE SAME SUN AND RAIN AS THE CORSICA, AND IT HAS YET TO FLAKE ITS' PAINT. NOW I HEAR THAT GM HAD A 6/5 YEAR POLICY, BUT NOW THAT I HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, MY CAR IS TOO OLD. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND AM LOOKING FOR HELP.

MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE PAINT AND THE AIRCONDITIONING. THE PAINT BEGAN TO PEEL RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL AND COULDN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAINTED. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A DISEASE. THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT LAST SUMMER AND I HAVE A HEART CONDITION. I HAD TO HAVE A BAG OF ICE WITH ME ALL THE TIME TO STAY COOL, BECAUSE, AGAIN I DID NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET IT FIXED. THE POWER LOCKS AND MY HORN JUST QUIT WORKING AND THE FUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, SO I'M REALLY JUST HOPING SOMEONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE THAT. I CAN'T FIND IT AND I HAVE A CORSICA AUTO BOOK FROM AUTO ZONE. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET MY CAR REPAINTED. I THINK I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO THE RECALL.

THIS TYPE OF MAJOR EXPENSIVE FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET (GM REQUEST # G01479570). THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM NOT UNHAPPY WITH QUALITY OF THIS AUTOMOBILE, BUT NOT HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE AND RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET FOR NOT WILLING TO HELP. IS THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER VEHICLES MAKE AND TYPE.**** DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****731233. *AK

I HAD WASHED MY 1995 CHEVROLET CORSICA ON MAY 18TH 2000 AND HAD CLUMPS OF PAINT COMING OF THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERS. THEY HAD SAID THEY WILL NOT PAINT IT FOR FREE. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BECAUSE IT IS A FACTOR DEFECT. I HAD A FRIEND LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THAT THE FACTOR PERSON DID NOT SAND IT DOWN BEFORE PAINTING IT. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR IF I MAY, PLEASE. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN VEHICLE.
