1996 Chevrolet Corsica Complaints

I OWN A 1996 CHEVROLET CORSICA. IT LOOKED MUCH OLDER THAT A 1996, BECAUSE THERE WERE MANY SPOTS OF PAINT THATCAME OFF. YOU COULD TELL THAT THE PAINT FAILED. IT MUST NOT HAVE BONDED TO THE CAR BECAUSE THE AREAS WERENOW RUSTING EVEN THOUGH I PUT WAX ON THERE TRYING TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE FAILED PAINT. I DO MANY THINGS TO KEEP THE CAR LOOKING GOOD ,BUT THE PAINT JUST SLOWLY KEPT COMING OFF. I DIDN'T USE CAR WASHES ANYMORE BECAUSE THE PAINT CAME OFF WHEN IT WAS HIT WITH THE PRESSURIZED WATER. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CORSICA CARS AROUND TOWN THAT SEEMED TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DIDN'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT IT STARTED RUSTING MORE RECENTLY. THE PAINT FAILED FROM THE HOOD TO THE TRUNK. THERE WERE 22 LARGE SPOTS THAT WAS DOWN TO METAL OR TURNED TO RUST NOW. *AK

CONSUMER WOULD LIKE INFORMATION FOR RECALLS REGARDING 1996 CHEVROLET CORSICA. *KB *JB

THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON MY CAR. THESE SPOTS ARE NOT SMALL, BUT HUGE SPOTS THAT HAVE BUBBLED AND COME OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFEAT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *JB

(1) FOR OVER A YEAR NOW MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON 1998 CHEVROLET CORSICA HAVE FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN RAINY WET CONDITIONS. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN RAINY OR WET. THE BRAKES CATCH AND RELEASE REPEATEDLY EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE CAR TO SLIDE (THIS EVEN HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING 10 MPH). AFTER THE FIRST 15 STOPS IT WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO STOP WITHOUT DOING THIS. BUT IN THE CASE OF THE ACCIDENT I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR FAILED TO STOP. (2) I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH WITH 3-4 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN MYSELF AND CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IN TIME. I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. (3) I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER ON 3 OCCASSIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. IF THAT WERE THE CASE, WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD. THE FIRST 3 YEARS THAT I HAD THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT DO THIS, SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. I EVEN HAD THE DEALE...

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.
