Flooring crumbling

The floor coating on my garage floor us coming up. Please help me figure out how to get the rest of it up. The house was a parade home and I assume the flooring was put down by the builder about 4 years ago in a very professional tile type pattern. I am dealing with a 3 1/2 car garage so there is a lot of this stuff on here. Some areas are perfect and other areas, most notably where we park our main car, are a disaster. I have no idea what type or brand floor covering it is. The chips look like a thin cement coating. It does not scrape off easily until it lets loose as sections bubble here and there. There is a very nice coat of grey paint or sealant underneath that is not coming up at all. I have soaked areas to see if that will help but it does not. This stuff when it separates from the floor crumbles like egg shells and is a constant mess. Please help!

My guess is it's a bad epoxy job. First you should try to contact the builder. Then you should try to contact the Home Builder's Association for your state. In my state houses are supposedly covered for structural defects for 10 years through them. Whatever the floor is, it probably will need to be shot blasted and it would be better if you didn't have to pay for it!
