Anyone have issues with paint defects? My whole right side has ripples throughout and the left side has a ripple or two below the mirror.

Also have an issue with the front hood, apparently there was a bulletin on the center hood cover being loose...sadly the mechanic overtightened mine and now the hood has multiple dimples...it's a nightmare when the lighting conditions are right!

Worst part about it, when I bought it (4 weeks ago) the pollen was already flowing here in Washington...once I took it through a brushless carwash I could see them all. Dealer is replacing the hood part but there are just so many areas now I've noticed that aren't smooth. The dealer says that the MFG used some adhesive on the inner panels of the doors which has caused the panels to get sucked in and have the dents and ripples. If that's the case then GM made out unibody door panels and rear upper quarter panels stupid thin. Hopefully no one decides to lightly lean up against their Hummer to take a picture cause that'll be a dent waiting to happen.

Note to all, don't get a body shop light that dent repairers use to fix dents cause you'll see them all over the 2025 model.
 
It's a brand new car, There is something called the lemon law..You need to tell Gm about these defects

Lemon law doesn't really come into play until 30 days at the dealership for repairs and the damages are costly. So far only 5 of the days have been counted. Just super disappointing that I even have to deal with this. Does anyone else have thin door panels that flex really bad?

Yes, I noticed some small bubbles/ripples under the matte paint. I spoke with the dealer about fixing it but I didn't want to go without my new car while I wait for my left quarter panel to be repainted...
