I had a few bubbles show up in my paint on my driver's side front fender near the Hemi emblem. Dealer got approval from Chrysler to fix it under warrantee, so they sent it out to their body shop. They sanded the spot, recleared it, and polished it. It looked perfect when I got it back, but the bubbles started coming back after a week or so.

Now its back in the shop getting a new fender from Chrysler. Dealer has been great about it, and I'm driving a loaner until its done.

Anyone else having paint problems?

Man that sucks. Aside from a few specks of dirt in the clear coat *knock on wood* mine is fine. And thankfully so as mine is black. Seems to be a lot of 14s with this problem...

Yepp. Black has issues for some reason I got new paint on the roof. Another member is fight chrysler on paint issue but different than what we have. It's solvent pop ( probably caused by a dirty hand or glove during the tack down process.)most likely yours is down on the metal like mine was. The body shop buffed mine but quickly realized is was all the way down and stripped the entire roof. Seems to be pretty common unfortuneitly.
