Body problem #1

A deer ran out in front of me, driving 50 mph. Passenger side hit, all 8 airbags deployed. Passenger side airbag under steering wheel, cut up my legs horribly, very swollen, refused hospital due to covid 19 fear. The airbags cut up my left arm and my daughter's right arm(she was passenger). Very happy that we were safe, but the serious cuts on my body seemed quite severe for the hit which was on passenger side and by a deer.

Body problem #2

About a year after owning my magnetic gray 4runner I started noticing flaws on my hood and roof of the vehicle almost like the clear coat was bubbling up. I expressed my concern to the dealership during a routine visit and the supervisor said it will be noted in the vehicles record. I routinely wash my vehicle and do not let anything sit on my vehicle such as sap or bird droppings and the vehicle is in a garage. It is now a year later and I am noticing more spots. Knowing now that Toyota has had issues before with defective clear coat on their vehicles I am wondering if their is anything I can do other than to pay out of pocket to have my vehicle repainted.
