2026 Sport Hybrid Paint issue
I brought my new 2026 sport L hybrid home last Thursday and the next morning I I noticed what I thought was a paint chip on the side of the hood. Called the dealer and they told me to bring it in when their paint guy comes which was today. Three hours at the dealership finally someone comes out and tells me that they found bubbling near the spot and said it’s a manufacturing defect. When the hood was lifted up, we found all sorts of paint bubbling underneath the edge of the hood on the left side. Now it has to be sanded down and repainted way more than I would like for a little spot like this. I’m already preparing myself to be able to see where the work was performed because in my experience, navy blue paint is always hard to match the factory paint job. What a disappointing feeling from a brand new car.
