A new car should have 0 problems, if it does than it's a factory defect.

Chipping or fading shouldn't be happening. I say you should harass the dealer to fix the issue. Sounds like the paint is thin all around on these cars so try to get the whole thing re-painted.

Its happened to me once when I used a power sprayer to try to blow off the grime. I learned my lesson and do it by hand now. My car is an 05 with 10K and always kept in a garage.
