What is the name of your state? California
I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
Basically about a year ago I started to notice chips in the paint of my Camaro. I thought they were from parking near a gravel road and trucks were kicking up pebbles. So a year goes by and I notice that the chips are starting to appear all over the sides of the roof. So I look into it and find a thread on an enthusiast website and find out that hundreds, if not thousands of people are dealing with this problem.
GM issued a technical service bulletin because they know of the problem and issued it to dealers to let them know how to fix it. But they did not issue a recall. People still under the 3yr/36k mile warranty can get it fixed no problem. People outside that warranty have a little harder time getting it fixed. Basically GM has a 6yr/100k mile paint protection warranty that covers any rust or corrosion. GM is paying for some people while denying others. I am one of the ones who was denied.
My question is this. Can I take GM to small claims court? I have a couple repair invoices from people who had their problem fixed under the 6yr/100k warranty and I think that since they had the same problem as me and got it fixed under warranty then I should be entitled to the same treatment.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
