Hi! I have had my Prius since November, and I have started to notice a considerable amount of chipping in the paint on the hood of the vehicle (and a little on the sides toward the front). It hasn't chipped down to metal, but its definantly noticeable.
I brought it to the dealership, and they told me it is natural for this to happen because of the way the Prius is designed (no grill, hood slopes down toward the ground, etc). Given the large amount of highway driving that I do, I suppose this could be possible. But it still seems a little ridiculous to encounter this amount of paint chipping after only 6 months of owning the car.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
