The peeling paint was a defect spoken about long ago on the website. I think in fact it was even found to be affected by some of the things we use to clean the cars with. Do a search on the paint and you may even find a TSB on it. I even remember taking a pole as to whether or not it was more common with certain interior colors. Don't remember the outcome but I remember reading all these troubling remarks right before I was buying mine. Hope you get some satisfaction.
