Passat (B7) :: 2012, 2.5 SE - Clear Coat Peeling Near Trunk / Rear Panel Area

My MY2012 Passat 2.5 SE currently at 37k miles all of a sudden is showing clear coat peeling near the trunk/rear panel area. Car is a CPO and clean carfax (no accidents) and currently still under warranty. Planning on taking it back to the dealership and hopefully start a case for warranty work under VWoA.

I've never encountered clearcoat failure this early on, case in point my B5 (MY1999) still has excellent clear coat uniformity despite the paint/body being 17+ years old.

Prius (2010-12) :: Clear Coat Removal When Polishing?

I'm planning on doing a paint correction on my car and was wondering if I need to be concerned on how much clear coat will come off during the process? I'm going to be washing and claying it beforehand and using a dual action polisher for removing the existing swirls and micro scratches. It's a black car if that makes any difference. The reason I ask is that I'm not a detailer but have heard that some of the modern autos don't have that much clear coat on top of the paint or that some areas (like the edges) don't have clear coat compared to other areas. I also bought the car used (its about 3-4 years old) so I don't know its washing history.

Camry 2012+ :: Touching Up Paint - Missing Clear Coat

I know it's a typical new car issue but every time I look at my car I see a new chip. None of them are major, usually just some missing clear coat but yesterday I found one that looked like it had been masked with fingernail polish. How do I remove this without damaging the paint underneath? Also, how do I level the repair after the clear coat?

Civic - Honda :: 2008 - Paint Clear Coat Cracking?

The paint is starting to get cracks on the hood and fenders of my 2008 Honda civic its dark blue with 43,700 miles the dealer said the warranty for paint is 36 months or 36,000 miles. They said its the clear coat and the black and dark blue paint has been doing this.He is checking with Honda to see if they will paint the hood and fenders for me.I feel that in time the rest of the car will get these cracks to and they should repaint the entire car, since they admitted that it is a problem with the clear coat.The car is always garaged and waxed often.What do you think

Camry :: 2009 - Unplugged Power To Radio In Attempt To Clear Error 3

2009 Camry SE with jbl 6 disc changer. So I was getting a jammed changer (error 3) and tried disconnecting the negative terminal of my battery for a bit to reset everything. So it went from saying that there were 6 discs in the changer (there were only 5) and error 3 to saying there was nothing in the changer and pressing load/eject don't do anything. It's as if there's no cd player detected anymore. Aux still works. Any tips or is it fried? Also I took the whole thing out and removed all the discs. Still no dice.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: TPMS Error Occasionally?

My 2012 is showing a TPMS fault occasionally. It goes away after driving for a while, and the pressures in the tires seems fine, so I think something must be wrong with one or more of the sensors.

I am planning on getting new tires pretty soon, so hopefully I can have this fixed at the same time. However, I don't normally buy my tires at the dealership.

question 1) any way to find out which sensor is misbehaving?

question 2) can my local independent tire shop repair or replace these?
